What to expect
Fort Abraham Lincoln brings Mandan village history and the later military post together in one state park. On-a-Slant’s reconstructed earthlodges, blockhouses and the visitor-center museum provide several ways to learn about the area. Trails climb into the surrounding hills, and the campground offers an overnight base beside the rivers.
