The Little Missouri River Badlands provide a spectacular backdrop to the park and one of the largest deposits of petrified wood in the U.S. is found inside Theodore Roosevelt Park. The town of Dickinson is also less than hour's drive to Lake Sakakawea, which offers fishing, boating and other recreational activities. However, you don't need to leave Dickinson to enjoy yourself. The town offers over 1,500 acres of public park land with trails for hiking, jogging, bicycling, picnicking, volleyball, soccer, and baseball fields. Dickinson is also home to the #4 Best Public Golf Course in North Dakota, according to Golfweek Magazine. Other attractions include the Dakota Dinosaur Museum, which features 14 full-scale dinosaurs, as well as minerals, fossils and even a "glow in the dark" exhibit. The Enchanted Highway, approximately ten miles east of town, features seven of the worlds largest metal sculptures, spread along 32 miles of the highway.
