Our dog park back home has no grass or shade so this was pretty high class for our pups. There were 4 separate caged areas so dogs could have personal space when needed. We have one small and one large dog but both went into the large dog area no problem. Also, got a kick out of 'wiggly field'!

My advice would definitely be to head out here but give the sick pups a chance to get things sorted to avoid the spread, according to the vet.

The Dakota Bark Park is a pretty decent dog park. It has three areas; small, medium and general…read more It's very spacious so the dogs have plenty of room to run around and chase each other. There are a few shady slots for those warmer days too, but only in the general park (which is the largest). The only real negative is that that water fountain doesn't work, so be sure to bring your pups water to drink. There are dog bags provided. It's a little hard to find but it's worth looking for since its one of the only place I found in Minot where the dogs can run around freely. Overall, this is a good park for the pups.

Hi, my name is Craig Bellot. My wife Laura and I are from Louisiana. We have been retired for…read moresome years now. We live in our RV and travel the country for 6 or 7 months of the year. We had the privilege of staying in the Lake Harmon RV park here in Morton County over an extended Memorial Day holiday weekend. This park is in a very beautiful setting and is one of the cleanest and most well kept park that we can remember. The two ladies, Tammy and Adella, are about 2 of the most perfect park host that could be found anywhere. Even though when we arrived the park was full, they worked very hard to find us a spot. It is our opinion that the dedication and professionalism of these two ladies made this the best stay of our summer. We plan on returning to North Dakota and Harmon Lake again next year.

What a gem of a park! We camped for one night (could have easily stayed longer if we'd had more…read moretime) and enjoyed fishing and the historic sites. Ranger Austin was a friendly wealth of information and my 5 yo really enjoyed wearing the buffalo head dress he brought over. Our campsite faced the Missouri, which was sweet. However, all of the campsites are pretty close together. If I were to go back, I'd opt for site 1, which faces the river and has a little more space to it as it is close to a parking lot, but not obtrusively so. Also, the bathrooms were spotless and boasted the nicest campground shower I've ever had.

For a state with an abysmal and brutal record (in fact to the present day) of encounters with…read moreindigenous Americans (oh wait, that's not very distinguishing among other states is it?) this state park does quite an excellent job of presenting a rebuilt indigenous people's village. The cultural and linguistic explanations about the native people's way of seeing and thinking is especially noteworthy. The reconstructed "earthlodges" sit on the site of an actual, large settlement of a northern plains tribe from the 1700s. If you tour this site, you'll learn about the spread of smallpox from the Spanish populations further south, up the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, that weakened the entire population even before contact with the european invaders from the east. There are exhibit narratives about a tribal leader traveling to the east to meet with U.S. leaders, however, these narratives omit the brutal part of the european-native confrontation. Notably, the Whitestone massacre from the 1860s, where 300+ women and children at a big harvest camp were brutalized and killed, not too far from this exact site. (A "genocidal" action of the U.S. Army that provides historical precedent for the likes of Boko Haram.) Yes, history is told by the vanquishers, but in this case, a very dedicated woman of indigenous origin has spoken of her heritage through storytelling over many years, and her painstaking, tenacious work has paid off in the quality and insights available at this exhibit. You'll be enriched by insights into the native peoples' worldview. Additionally, I recommend a stop at the visitors center because the media there really brings alive the structures you see in the native village. The military forts at this state park are so predictable...and deceitful (because right to the present, few european americans want to admit and reconcile with the perpetration of atrocities.)

We were able to do a March hike on well-packed snow.The yurt, which is available during winter, books up fast. There's a very detailed and still accurate review below, so, I won't repeat all of that, I'll just say it all still holds true, and the mosquitoes have only multiplied since then!

No annoying street lights. No paved roads, it's just you and nature. Set right against the Missouri river it's beautiful and at night it's almost like you can see every star in the sky. There is no light pollution here at all! There is a little registration store here for purchasing things. You can rent paddle boats and kayaks. There are sites here for rvs, primitive sites for tents, and cabins to rent. This would be a perfect place for a family reunion. This place would be perfect if it just had a more centrally located shower facility.

I came to Eagles Park for the Universal Playground because of a pediatrics project. This…read moreplayground is hands down, a child's dream come true. Universal Playground: On top of your normal slides and playground sets, there are also zipline bucket seats, multiple people seasaws, roll over tables, sensory wall, many unique types of swings, a big spinning cup and a mini rock climbing wall. The flooring is about 70% rubber and 30% tanbark. My descriptions do not do it justice. Probably better to see for yourself. Pretty much the main feature here. Inside Shelter: Can be reserved in advance. Bathrooms are located in here, so this might be a problem if it is rented by another party. In my opinion, it can comfortably fit about 30-40 people. There are tables and chairs inside for use. Parking: bit limited in the lot, but lots of street parking Outside shelters: There are 3 private outside shelters. 1 super big one and 2 smaller ones. Grass field: Not as big as some other parks, but big enough for a children's playground
