Rough Rider State Park

North Dakota, United States · built 1970

Rough Rider State Park is a public recreation area located along the eastern banks of the Little Missouri River about two miles (3.2 km) south of Medora in Billings County, North Dakota. The state park is used for camping, horse camping, and canoeing. The Rough Riders was a nickname given to the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry when it was led by Theodore Roosevelt. His presidential library is under construction nearby as Roosevelt hunted and ranched in the area in the 1880s. Formerly named after nearby Sully Creek, the name change in 2024 included consideration of General Alfred Sully who led military campaigns against the Sioux.
