Exploring the Wild Beauty of Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Getting There

• Car

  From nearby towns such as Medora or Dickinson, take Highway 10 (which is also known as the Theodore Roosevelt Expressway) and follow the signage toward Theodore Roosevelt National Park. If coming from Medora, it's about a 5-minute drive to the park's south entrance. If you're coming from Dickinson, take I-94 W and then take exit 24 for US-85 S. Follow US-85 for about 25 miles until you reach the park entrance. There is no fee to enter the park, but be prepared for potential costs if you are using a rental car, such as gas.

• Public Transportation

  Public transportation options to Theodore Roosevelt National Park are limited. The nearest major bus station is in Dickinson. From Dickinson, you can take a taxi or rideshare service to reach the park, which is approximately 28 miles away. Expect to pay around $50 to $70 for the taxi service. Alternatively, check for any local shuttle services that may operate from Dickinson to Medora or the park during the tourist season.

• Bicycle

  For the adventurous, cycling is an option if you are within 50 kilometers of the park. Routes from nearby towns like Medora are scenic and allow you to enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Make sure to plan your route carefully, as some roads may be busy. Bring plenty of water and snacks, as services can be sparse. The park's south entrance is accessible by bicycle, and there are bike racks available at the visitor center.
