Hunt five species of upland game, six species of big game and a variety of waterfowl. Our fresh water is abundant with salmon, walleye, northern pike, trout, bass, catfish, and more. The fast current changes the Missouri River's flow constantly, sometimes challenging even the best anglers' navigating ability. The walleye fishery in the Missouri River is one of North Dakota's local secrets. Mandan Aquatic Center The Mandan Aquatic Center pool is an eight lane, fifty-meter pool with a separate dive well. The pool has ramp access and locker rooms that are equipped with handicap lifts, so that no one has to miss out on the fun.
