Tourism
Steele, ND offers a wide variety of recreational options.

Visitors and residents can enjoy activities for all ages at any of the four city parks in Steele.  

The World's Largest Sandhill Crane Foundation co-sponsored a new twelve-hole disc golf course
"Norse Course Disc Golf Sanctuary" designed for the beginner disc golfer.  The course is located at the
Four Season Community Park in Steele and is free to the public, however golfers must bring their own
discs.

Disc golf, sometimes called Frisbee golf, is a disc game in which individual players throw a flying disc
into a basket or at a target.  The object of the game is to follow a course from beginning to end in the
fewest number of throws of the disc.

The Norse Course features a twelve-target design using the best Innova DISCatcher Pro targets and
rubber tee pads, whereas most disc golf courses use cement tee pads.  Located throughout the course
are 12 birding signs.  As golfers enjoy their game, they can also read and learn about 48 different birds
that can be seen and heard around the Steele area.

The course meets the Professional Disc Golf Association specifications and is listed in the official PDGA
national directory.  In 2007, there were more than 2,100 courses nationally and 365 internationally.

Along with the disc golf course, Steele offers a nine-hole regulation golf course, swimming pool, picnic
shelters with BBQ grills, tennis, basketball, and volleyball courts, baseball and softball diamonds, as
well as playground equipment.  

Several area lakes make it a perfect spot for boating, fishing, and water sports in the summer.  Winter
gives way to snowmobiling and cross-country skiing, and hunting and fishing can be done year-round.
The World's Largest Sandhill Crane site is also one of 480,000 locations around the world for the
increasingly popular game "geocaching".  

Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which the participants use a Global Positioning
System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches"
or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook
and "treasure," usually toys or trinkets of little value.  Geocaches are currently placed in over 100
countries around the world and on all seven continents, including Antarctica.
