Lake Sakakawea

Garrison is located on the north shore of beautiful Lake Sakakawea.  The lake, named for the Native American woman who joined Lewis & Clark 200+ years ago, is the third-largest manmade lake in the United States.  It's filled by the Missouri River and contained by the Garrison Dam, the country's fifth largest.  This huge lake, with more shoreline than California, is home to numerous species.  Walleye is the most popular catch, but anglers can also reel in northern pike, chinook salmon, smallmouth bass, white bass, yellow perch, crappie, and sauger.  Click more details for lake access points with boat ramps.

Lake Audubon

Audubon Lake, a sister lake to Lake Sakakawea, was also formed with the construction of the Garrison Dam near Riverdale, ND.  The two lakes are separated by an embankment, which carries U.S. Highway 83.  Audubon Lake is 16,612 acres in size and features approximately 152.8 miles of Shoreline.  It is 59.90 feet deep at its deepest point and anglers can expect to catch a variety of fish including walleye, northern pike, yellow perch, and small mouth bass.  Click more details for lake access points with boat ramps.

Bloemendaal Guide Service

Bloemendaal Guide Service exists to execute this simple mission: Share the family joy of fishing with as many people as possible. We know that not everyone has a boat or the gear or the expertise to go out and chase big walleyes across Lake Sakakawea in North Dakota (and other locations in the Midwest), and that's okay...because we love taking people! Even if you've never fished before, we vow to show you the time of your life on the water, because there's nothing like the sensation of a fish from the depths tugging on your line when you least expect it, especially when that fish is of trophy-caliber size! And when that thing comes to the surface and rolls into the landing net...chills, baby! Chills!  Head over to wwww.bloemendaalfishing.com to get all the information!
