Waterfalls in North Dakota

North Dakota has no significant waterfall geography. The Pembina Gorge in Cavalier County has the most topographic relief in the state, with the Pembina River cutting through ancient lake bed sediments, but no true waterfalls. For waterfall terrain, North Dakota residents typically travel to the Black Hills of South Dakota or to Gooseberry Falls on Minnesota's North Shore.

Waterfall flow varies by season — spring snowmelt produces peak flows. Check trail conditions before visiting remote sites. Some falls are seasonal and may be dry in late summer. Explore all waterfalls on the Trek4Free map →
