The trail takes about 35-40 mins to walk, with several different paths and shortcuts that you can take.
Oak Park, located along the beautiful Souris River, has several walking paths, and a driving lope. Dogs on a leash are welcome to walk through the park. Surround yourself with the many oak trees and get in touch with nature in the heart of Minot.
Bison Plant Trail is just on the outskirts of Minot along HWY 52. This trail allows for walking, biking, and during the winter cross country skiing. The trail is lengthy and takes just over an hour to complete on foot. Dogs are welcome on a leash.
Roosevelt Park has two main walking loops with a bridge crossing the Souris River. Bring a padlock and place it on the bridge with your significant other to show your love. The walk takes about a half hour, and you will see a statue of Theodore Roosevelt on a horse, who the park is named after.
