The Missouri River is one of the largest and most important rivers going through North Dakota. The history surrounding it is extensive to say the least. The river brought many of the state’s cities to life, including the capital city Bismarck. The river is naturally beautiful and deserves to be seen, and by far one of the best ways to see it is by riverboat.
This is definitely one for the ND bucket list! Check it out:
