Theodore Roosevelt/Juniper

What was nice in the North unit was that I saw a Buffalo heard as opposed to just some individual Bison in the south unit. Staff at the visitors center was helpful but be prepared to ask some questions. Scenery in both North and South are similar but perhaps better in the north. With the current setup, I'm not sure anyone would have known I paid in the North unit.

The open hours for the visitor center are in Mountain Time. We like the north unit better than the south unit. Less people and more beautiful. There are really cool overlooks and a couple of short trails. Recommend the 1h drive from the south to at least stop at the overlooks.

In August 2025, we visited the North Unit Visitor's Center at the Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. In the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, there is a North Unit and a South Unit, and each Unit has their own Visitor's Center. In the North Unit, there is a 14 mile drive with several scenic spots, such as Cannonball, River Bend Overlook, and Ox Bow Overlook. We loved the scenery as we stopped at these different places on the 14 mile drive. Theodore Roosevelt National Park is amazing and memorable.

You must see the northern unit of the park. I totally missed it the last time I visited the south unit. The wildlife and scenery is top notch. Highly recommend the prairie dog town hike. We saw many bison and prairie dogs on the trail, and even birds and lizards. Incredible views!

The North Unit is much smaller and more remote than the South but do not miss out on going to the North Unit of the park! Such a nice place. The Rangers working this Unit were very nice and informative. There is a very small selection of gift shop items here. But we found what we needed. There are toilets at this visitor center (most of the park has drop toilets). Also, do not forget to pack snacks/lunch if you come this way as there is nowhere to buy food.
