Welcome To Kenmare!!!! The community has much to offer whether you stop for an hour, a day or longer.
* The old Danish Mill sets in the lush park square at the heart of Kenmare’s downtown business district. The two-story tall windmill was built in 1902. Four large 18-foot vanes once captured the wind’s power to grind wheat into livestock feed or flour for local farmers.

* To the immediate north of town is the Kenmare Country Club. It is a 9-hole grass green course with irrigated fairways and greens. Golfers can enjoy a scenic overlook of the Des Lacs Lake and valley from most of the course.

* The Scenic Lake Road (former route of Highway 52) was recently rebuilt to accommodate tourist traffic along the Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge and lake. This route has now achieved designation as a North Dakota Scenic Backway. The twelve mile gravel road has nature trails for walking and wildlife observation. The refuge has become a very popular destination for bird watchers from around the world. Call the refuge headquarters at 701-385-4046 for information or stop in the Visitor Center at the refuge.

* Another point of interest is the Lake County Pioneer Village & Museum located in northeast Kenmare. It consists of five acres and 18 buildings, including early day businesses, one-room school house, 1904 home, and a pioneer church.

* A second museum of interest is the V & R Toy Museum located next to the Vern and Rose Eymann home.

* Recreational facilities include the city’s heated outdoor swimming pool, outdoor tennis and basketball courts, indoor gymnasiums, softball fields, children’s play parks, and ice skating rink. Tasker's Coulee is located two miles outside of town with modern bathrooms, a sheltered picnic area and numerous private picnic spots secluded in the trees. The area is also great for hiking and hill climbing.

* For evening entertainment, sit back with a hot buttered popcorn and take in a movie at the renovated Kenmare Theatre.

* Surrounding the downtown park square are a variety of interesting stores. The White Buffalo Soda Fountain offers old fashioned sodas and ice cream using actual turn-of-the-century soda fountain fixtures and furnishings.
