To challenge that sporting fisherman there
is no better opportunity than trying to catch that elusive walleye than
in the Dakota Walleye Classic. The
annual tournament, sponsored by the Beulah Chamber of Commerce, prides
itself as the largest prize payoff on the lake. The tournament has
expanded to over 180 two-man teams and registration starts January 12.
The Beulah Park Board continues to upgrade the camping facilities at Beulah Bay and are adding primitive cabins this summer to accommodate the number of camping reservation requests. Make a reservation and come and enjoy the lake recreation opportunities.
RECREATION

Synonymous with recreation is Lake Sakakawea. As
one of North America's top walleye lakes, Lake Sakakawea offers some of
the best fishing in the upper Midwest. Other than walleye, though,
the big lake has it all: Trout, salmon, northern pike, sauger, and small-mouth
bass to name a few. 
But wait! There's more! Upland
game hunting offers grouse, pheasant, partridge, wild turkey, and doves. Besides
waterfowl hunting, there's big game in the area including whitetail, mule
deer, and antelope. Public and private lands are open to hunting. Guide
services are readily available in the area for those wanting it.
If you are looking for the best family-fun
deal of the summer put the Mercer County Fair on your schedule. The
official parade winds a route through the downtown to the fairgrounds and
there is a wonderful carnival to thrill both youngsters and adults alike. In
addition to the evening shows to provide you with some of the finest entertainment
in the area, the area co-ops dole out a free meal for the price of a gate
ticket.
