The Sheyenne State Forest, 509 acres of Sheyenne River riparian forest in Springer Township of Ransom County, is home to mineral springs and the only natural waterfall in the state of North Dakota. The forest is made up of wooded coulees and stream bottoms, steep hillsides, spring fed brooks, scenic overlooks, level upland grasslands and both upland and bottomland hardwood forest types.
The Sheyenne State Forest Overlook provides a panoramic view of the rolling hills and valley. The area surrounding the Sheyenne State Forest is rich in history and plant diversity. The forest encompasses part of the Sheyenne River Valley, with deep draws and steep banks. Deer and other wildlife are common to the area.
