Turtle Mountain, Mountain range at Manitoba and North Dakota border.

Turtle Mountain is a plateau stretching across the Manitoba and North Dakota border, with forested slopes and rolling terrain that rises distinctly above the surrounding plains. The landscape includes multiple lakes and varied vegetation, creating pockets of recreation areas and natural features throughout the region.

Indigenous peoples lived and thrived in this region for centuries before the 19th century brought rapid colonial settlement that displaced them from their traditional territories. This period marked a profound turning point in who controlled and used the land.

The area holds deep meaning for Plains Ojibwe and Métis peoples, whose hunting and fishing traditions shaped life here for generations. You can still sense how the landscape connects to these communities and their relationship with the land.

You can enter from various points around the region and find marked trails for hiking and driving through designated routes. Spring through fall offers the best conditions for exploring, as the terrain is more accessible and the weather cooperates with outdoor activities.

Lake Metigoshe sits on the plateau and actually crosses the border between Canada and the United States, making it an unusual geographic feature that straddles two countries. This arrangement creates an intriguing place where a national boundary runs directly through a lake.
