★★★★★Michael PrayThe Mandan Nature Center is primarily for family, children and school activities, and day camps. It is not currently open to the public except for those scheduled events. There’s parking along the entrance, security cameras, water stations, shelters, and a playground. There are a lot of other parking lots north in the park, but this is the safest. I park here regularly for mountain biking as this has the best trailhead.
