For the first time in over a decade, a sailboat regatta will be returning to Lake Sakakawea. The picturesque event is Saturday and will be headquartered at de Trobriand Marina, Fort Stevenson State Park. Sailboat races begin at noon.
According to a spokesperson for the event, spectators will have an excellent view of the event from the Guardhouse lawn. The regatta should provide the public with a chance to capture great photos as the sailboats race to the finish line.

A “Captains Captains’ Meeting is set for 9 a.m. on Saturday. Park officials note that some boat slips will be available for the weekend.
