Area Attractions
Easy to get here... hard to leave. Geologist classify our area as being originally a part of the ocean changed by massive interval upheavals and covered with ice a mile thick. It then was flooded by a lake which covered the present city of Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada with as much as 400 feet of water. Gradually the lake drained to the North leaving rich fertile valleys and rolling hills with a heritage of wealth and beauty. A mammoth lake in Western North Dakota flowed into the area with such force and violence that deep gorges were formed. The beautiful Pembina River Gorge forms the impressive backdrop for Frost Fire, by far one of the most beautiful areas in North Dakota.
