Napoleon Public Ice Skating Rink

Winters in Napoleon are serious business, and the local ice rink is where a good chunk of the town ends up once the cold sets in. It’s a no-frills kind of place, which honestly suits it fine — people come to skate, not to be impressed by amenities. If you haven’t been out here on a clear January night with the cold biting at your face, you’re missing a pretty genuine slice of small-town North Dakota life. Bring warm layers and don’t expect anything fancy, just solid ice and good company.
