===Tourism===
North Dakota is considered the least visited state, owing, in part, to its not having a major tourist attraction.<ref>{{cite news |last=Lukas |first=Paul |url=https://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/moneymag_archive/1999/11/01/268029/index.htm |title=State Secret North Dakota, our least visited state, is also among the most underappreciated |work=CNNMoney.com |date=November 1, 1999 |access-date=July 13, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110122133737/http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/moneymag_archive/1999/11/01/268029/index.htm |archive-date=January 22, 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref> 
Nonetheless, tourism is North Dakota's third largest industry, contributing more than $3 billion into the state's economy annually. Outdoor attractions like the 144-mile (232&nbsp;km) [[Maah Daah Hey Trail]] and activities like fishing and hunting attract visitors. The state is known for the Lewis & Clark Trail and being the winter camp of the Corps of Discovery.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thrillist.com/travel/nation/12-least-visited-states-in-america-connecticut-rhode-island-and-north-dakota|title=The Least-Visited States in America, and Why You Should Go to Each|first=Matt|last=Meltzer|date=September 20, 2015|website=Thrillist.com|access-date=September 4, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170904200512/https://www.thrillist.com/travel/nation/12-least-visited-states-in-america-connecticut-rhode-island-and-north-dakota|archive-date=September 4, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> Areas popular with visitors include [[Theodore Roosevelt National Park]] in the western part of the state.
