Bismarck is North Dakota's capital city. Nestled along the Missouri River, the city is packed with "big city" amenities while effortlessly retaining a relaxed, hometown feel. A health economy, plenty of fresh air and outdoor activities; and a downtown with incredible cultural opportunities and a diverse food scene make this "Great Plains" city one of the best in the United States!

The growing city of Bismarck has greatly benefited from the area's oil and energy activity. The state's overall economic outlook is currently trending upward and predicted to continue growing! Unemployment rates in the Bismarck-Mandan metropolitan area are some of the lowest in the country. Bismarck is a hotspot for entrepreneurs and is recognized as one of the nation's top small cities to start a business.

One of Bismarck's biggest assets is its wealth of year-round outdoor activities - biking, kayaking, hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, and more! Residents enjoy more than 100 miles of trails and pristine parks, with many along the banks of the Missouri River. Dubbed a "Bicycle Friendly Community," paved biking trails are laid along both sides of the river and weave through the cities of Bismarck and Mandan. Mountain bikers relish in the challenge of the Harmon Lake Trail, touted as North Dakota's best and most beautiful mountain biking trail.

North Dakota "has it all" - the highest quality of life in the country; chart-topping economic growth; breathtaking national parks; history, culture, and the arts; and some of the nicest people you will ever meet. With 70,000 square miles and 750,000 people, we don't claim to be "the biggest," but we're people with "big hearts." We're surprisingly nimble when it comes to trying new things and unfaltering when it comes to getting stuff done.

If this sounds like the place for you, look around. See what locals already know and love about North Dakota. Our state is for those who want to live extraordinary lives without paying an enormous price.
