Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Theodore Roosevelt National Park is a national park of the United States in the badlands of western North Dakota. Comprising three geographically separated areas and the only American national park named after a single person, it pays homage to the time that President Theodore Roosevelt spent in the surrounding area and in the Dakota Territories before they were states. Roosevelt lived in the area after his mother and wife died hours apart on February 14, 1884. The park covers 70,446 acres (110.1 sq mi, 285.1 km2) of land in three sections: the North Unit, the South Unit, and the Elkhorn Ranch Unit. The Little Missouri River flows through all three units, which are connected by the Maah Daah Hey Trail. The larger South Unit lies alongside Interstate 94 near Medora; the smaller North Unit is situated along U.S. Route 85, about eighty miles (130 km) north of the South Unit, and Roosevelt's Elkhorn Ranch is located in between. Both main units of the park have scenic drives, with approximately 100 miles (160 km) of foot and horse trails, wildlife viewing, and back country hiking and camping. The park received 850,000 recreational visitors in 2021.
