There is also Fort Stevenson State Park just south of Garrison on the water with fish cleaning, lake access, campsites, and a few cabins. Indian Hills Resort west of town has great lodging, camping, boat access, fish cleaning, bait, and gas at the dock. North Shore Inn and Suites and the Garrison Motel have rooms as well as a few cabins near the water. That said, you can't go wrong staying in Garrison, and for those coming from the south and east, it's an easier and shorter drive. Where we fish depends on the bite and seasonal migrations we want to make sure you get the most out of the trip, even if that means trailering a little to hit the right spot. Bloemendaal Guide Service is located in Garrison, ND and fishes a wide stretch of Lake Sakakawea from the dam up to Four Bears Casino and beyond.
