Cottonwood Campground is a fantastic spot, with shaded sites beneath mature cottonwoods and sweeping views of the surrounding badlands near the South Unit entrance of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It offers 76 sites—some reservable, others first-come, first-served—with flush toilets, potable water (seasonal), and a group site. During peak season (May 1–Sept 30), the nightly rate is $20; in the off-season (Oct 1–Apr 30), first-come, first-served sites are available for $10, making it a scenic and affordable overnight for Maah Daah Hey Trail hikers looking to regroup or explore nearby park highlights. **You can reserve a spot here: https://www.nps.gov/thro/planyourvisit/cottonwood-campground.htm, which also lists site availability and additional fee details.

The Pancratz Trail is a short loop path that takes you up a butte for a beautiful view onto the town of Medora and the North Dakota Badlands. There is a bench at the viewing point, so it is a great place for a break to take in the wonderful vistas.

Sully Creek State Park is located in the heart of the North Dakota Badlands and on the banks of the Little Missouri River. The park is a popular spot for running and hiking, as well as biking, picnicking and canoeing on the river.

Maah Daah Hey Trail is a 144-mile trail that runs through some of the most breathtaking scenery in North Dakota. The section after Medora is a particularly beautiful part that goes through the North Dakota Badlands with views onto Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

Chimney Park Path is a short, paved out-and-back trail that leaves out of Medora along Pacific Avenue. This trail is a great way to enjoy some of the views of Theodore Roosevelt National Park from outside of the park. Despite being so close to the road and to town, wildlife spotting is common along this trail.

The Ekblom Trail is a short connecting trail between the Maah Daah Hey Trail and the Big Plateau Trail. It is often used in a hiking loop with Big Plateau Trail and Lone Tree Spring Trail. There is a creek crossing involved and from the nearby parking lot a river crossing (Little Missouri River). Talk to the staff at the visitor center if it's safe to cross when you are here.

This specific section of the Maah Daah Hey Trail is nestled between the Big Plateau and the Lone Tree Spring Trail. It has a rapid elevation change to bring you up or down from the plateau. Especially when hiking down, the views open up and offers a beautiful view down into the canyon and valley.

Jones Creek Trail is a fairly easy hiking trail with little to no elevation changes. This doesn't mean it's not worth the hike. Surrounded by and weaving through the iconic Theodore Roosevelt National Park Buttes, and following Jones Creek there are plenty of interesting sights to see.
