Local Tips
The International Peace Garden — straddling the US-Canada border — commemorates the world's longest undefended international boundary. The Turtle Mountains' lakes and forests provide recreation unique on the treeless Northern Plains. Bottineau Winter Park provides modest downhill skiing.
The Fair
Held annually in Bottineau, the Bottineau County Fair celebrates a northern North Dakota county on the Turtle Mountains — the Turtle Mountains' gentle wooded hills are a dramatic contrast to the surrounding prairie, and the county's wheat, sunflower, and pulse crop farming alongside the International Peace Garden on the Canadian border define a county with both natural and diplomatic significance.
What You'll Find There
Highlights include livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, wheat and sunflower exhibits, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from the greater Bottineau area and the Turtle Mountain farming communities.
