The many areas for mountain biking include one million acres of rugged buttes in the Little Missouri National Grassland, to the hills of the Turtle Mountains, and trails like the Maah Daah Hey Trail, a 96-mile non-motorized trail for biking, hiking and horseback riding. Golfers will enjoy many challenging courses, including the Bully Pulpit Golf Course in the Badlands at Medora, recently ranked No.1 in the nation by Golf Digest magazine. North Dakota's river waters are great for canoeing, with choices of scenery through the agricultural plains, rugged Badlands, hardwood forests and open prairies. The Sheyenne River is 278 miles long, traversing through eastern North Dakota, and Mouse River is bordered by three national wildlife refuges, a great way to catch glimpses of beaver, wood ducks, white-tailed deer, muskrat and raccoons. The state lists more than 150 fishing waters, many also with camping facilities, boating and hiking trails. Winter provides a long season for downhill skiing at Huff Hills, Bottineau Winter Park and Frostfire Ski Resort, and a great variety of trails for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. There are 1,800 miles of groomed snowmobile trails and several hundred miles of less developed trails to explore.
