There is plenty there's literally the Missouri River running right by and in between Bismarck and Mandan great for having summer fun and fishing. There are lakes within 30 miles that you can get some great fishing done as well. It is a great state for outdoor events if you like to do things outdoor. It is a city that makes you reliant on your own personal activity so if you don't want to be able to come up with your own things to do you may struggle. We don't have clubs which I'm not against the wouldn't be a bad thing to have. A lot of people love going to the bars which isn't exactly a great thing. But the biggest thing is making the changing seasons part of your recreation. For example a lot of people love going kayaking during the summer and springtime for recreation and there are hiking options especially if you go out to the Black hills. During the winter there's lots of options from sledding to cross country skiing. There are things to do it's just much more dependent on people that like to get physically active and unfortunately in the grand scheme of things people are becoming less and less active so that's not exactly the best thing for people that are used to having less active or physically active activities
