WEEKEND PLANS
The Bismarck-Mandan area is loaded with outdoor recreation, great restaurants, craft breweries, live music and more entertainment. Head to the two revitalized downtown areas where you can find a unique stores, coffee shops, pubs, a rooftop bar, charcuterie, farm-to-table restaurant or sidewalk dining by a historic building restored to its original grandeur. (New downtown apartments and condominiums make for an especially walkable experience.)
You can also enjoy more than 100 miles of paved recreational trails, plenty of parks, long summer days on the river and seven affordable golf courses offering all levels of play.
