Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park

Strategically located along the Missouri River, Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park is a haven for photographers interested in both historical and natural subjects. The park features reconstructed Mandan earth lodges, offering a glimpse into the lives of the indigenous peoples who once called this area home. Nearby, the 19th-century military fort, once commanded by General George Custer, has been painstakingly recreated, with its wooden structures providing excellent subject matter for photography. The surrounding natural landscape offers sweeping vistas of the river and vast plains, ideal for capturing during the golden hour. Wildlife photographers will also find the park rich in bird and animal life. Consider visiting during special events or reenactments to add an extra layer of authenticity and action to your shots.
