In North Dakota it enters the state on the western border near Williston. Then is flows through Lake Sakakawea, a reservoir created by the Garrison Dam, built between 1947 and 1953. From there is flows southward through Bismarck/Mandan into the north half of Lake Oahe, as it passes into South Dakota.
