Where the Waterfalls Are
Lisbon sits in or near the Sheyenne River Valley area of North Dakota. The Sheyenne River winds through southeastern North Dakota in a valley much deeper and more wooded than the surrounding prairie, cut by meltwater as the last ice sheet retreated. Ransom County, around Lisbon, lies along this valley, where oak and basswood forest, springs and steep side slopes create a landscape unlike most of the state. Mineral Springs Falls is found here, a small spring-fed fall that USGS identifies as North Dakota's only recognized waterfall. The surrounding area includes state park land, scenic byways and the Sheyenne National Grassland to the east, making the valley a worthwhile destination even beyond the falls.
