The Sheyenne River is a fishing destination in North Dakota, managed by the North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department and located about half a mile from the town of Fort Ransom. It is a moderate outing, and its closeness to town makes it an easy stop for anyone already in the area. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Lisbon show July highs around 82°F with lows near 58°F, while winter is severe, with January highs around 18°F and lows near 0°F.
