At Upper Souris National Wildlife Refuge

Prairie-Marsh Scenic Drive

This three‑mile, self‑guided interpretive auto tour offers views of native prairie hills, brush‑filled coulees, and river‑bottom marshes. The route is closed during North Dakota’s state deer gun season and through the winter. The scenic drive begins one mile south of the dam, with an entrance gate located just south of the intersection of County Roads 6 and 11.
