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 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.
