The Region Two Office of the National Park Service analyzes the potential for a national park based around the North Dakota Badlands and Theodore Roosevelt’s Elkhorn Ranch site. They conclude that the North Dakota Badlands do not possess “resources of sufficient national significance to justify establishing a part of them as a national park,” and recommend that the area continue as a national wildlife refuge under the Fish and Wildlife Service.
