History

In the late 1800s, A.G. Gaines, a scout and land agent for the Burlington Northern Railroad, owned an Шаблон:Convert where the park and preserve now stand.[3] Although the subsequent owners, Bob and Gladys Levis, wished for the land to become a state park, and its purchase was approved by the state legislature in 1979, Bismarck businessman Robert McCarney funded a statewide referral that killed the proposal.[4] The Nature Conservancy purchased the ranch from the Levis in 1982. It then donated land for the state park in 1989, while holding onto Шаблон:Convert for use as a nature preserve.[2]

Activities and amenities

The state park and nature preserve provide Шаблон:Convert of trails for hiking and cross-country skiing. The park also offers kayaking, canoeing, cabins, yurts, and campsites.[1]
