A spectacular scenic vista awaits your exploration at the end of the North Unit Scenic Drive. Explore interpretive waysides along a short accessible sidewalk and take in the views of the meandering Little Missouri River surrounded by tall cottonwood trees and impressive buttes. Aptly named, Oxbow Overlook represents a type of meander that is occurring in the river. Oxbows and oxbow lakes are common along this free-flowing river where natural flood cycles constantly shift the river's course. Be sure to look for wildlife amongst the surrounding buttes.
