Morton balances wide-open prairie, Missouri River recreation, and easy access to big-city amenities. Anchored by Mandan and just across the river from Bismarck, it offers a relaxed pace with quick commutes via I‑94 and US‑10. Whether you’re drawn to small-town main streets or quiet acreage, the communities here deliver room to grow with a strong sense of local pride.
Weekends often start at Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park, where trails, river views, and living history bring the region’s story to life; plan a hike, tour the Custer House, or explore the On-A-Slant earthlodges through the park’s official site for Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park. Summer fun continues with family-friendly attractions like Raging Rivers Waterpark and community festivals, while iconic Salem Sue watches over New Salem from her hillside perch. County trails, boat ramps, and rural parks make it easy to slip outdoors after work.
Families appreciate the academic and extracurricular opportunities at Mandan Public Schools, supported by career and technical programs and competitive athletics. Learn more through the Mandan Public School District. Services, permits, and park updates are easy to find through Morton County and the Morton County government. Housing ranges from historic cores to new construction and country properties, all within reach of regional employers, healthcare, and higher education.
