The Enchanted Highway

A super cool road through the town of Regent that highlights what is most important to the town.

Each attraction was exceptional and had so much time and work put into them. I could tell how special these art pieces were to the town and how it's such a defining piece of Regent.

For the love of art and hometown. World's largest sculpture - neat drive thru experience! Worth a bit of a detour on your way to Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

Incredible. Don't miss it! But definitely try to come when it's comfortable outside. We came on a summer evening which was perfect.

Fun way to spend an afternoon on the road and worth the ride. The scenery is beautiful and the sculptures really cool

Such a great idea to get people to drive through this part of North Dakota. It's been on my list for years, but never felt like I wanted to make a special trip. I was driving from Bismarck Medora so decided to take a side trip to visit the sculptures and I'm so glad I did. Very cute!

Okay, maybe a 5 star is overstating this attraction, but its Americana at its best. Like the "Field of Dreams" or the Biggest Ball of Twine", this is an attraction that it is there.... so you have to go!

The Enchanted Highway is the worlds largest collection of scrap metal sculptures located in southwest North Dakota.... in other words, in the middle of nowhere! So if you find yourself driving on Hwy 94 (because who doesn't) take a 32 mile jaunt to the tiny town of Regent.

During your trek you will get to view some metal sculptures every few miles or so. But you will also get to see some amazing landscape of rolling hills, prairie buttes, sunflower fields, and horses.

This is totally an attraction that the Griswalds (Vacation) would have stopped at if they were on there way through ND. More proof that "if you build it, they will come"!

The Enchanted Highway is a fun ride in rural North Dakota. Oh wait, almost everything in North Dakota is "rural."

The Enchanted Highway is a whimsical ride that passes through farm country and small towns in North Dakota. The art work is a bit sun bleached and weather worn, but nevertheless, the evident creativity of it all will make you laugh out loud.

If you get a kick out of wandering around and seeing the sights, travel the Enchanted Highway.

Stop in and have Milk Shake at the Enchanted gift shop they are great!. Wonderful people, please drive the highway it's fun and the town needs it

Well worth the drive, look at pictures. You only need to visit once, this is my second trip in 10 years and not much has changed.
If you are in the area it is wort seeing.

Yes, 5 stars for some highway in, arguably, the middle of nowhere.

But its really interesting. Driving along in North Dakota I saw a sign for "The Enchanted Highway". Now, I had not heard about this before, and was on the "fast track" back East, but this proved too much for me to pass up.

I stopped and googled "the enchanted highway" -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enchanted_Highway

And found out it is indeed, "real" and a "thing" I could see. So, next exit I get off to see this. The first of 9 "statues" is right on the highway - geese - a large structure with geese on it. Really quite interesting. It happened to be a gorgeous day with blue skys and puffy clouds here and there. All of these statues are made from scrap medal. They are all huge.

The next statue is right off the highway and is "deer". Once there there is a sign pointed south in the direction of the next one with the distance. They are all between 1-5 miles down the road. They end in the town of Regent, where the artist is from.

The artist went on to buy an old school (no longer used) and made it into the Enchanted Hotel a few years ago. He seems to be single-handedly trying to keep his town alive.

This is a 30 mile detour out of your way (+- 30 miles to the town, then you have to go back to the highway) so keep that in mind. It is however well worth it.

5 stars for creativity, effort, sheer willpower I'm sure this took, and interest on the highways coming across America.
