Optometrist

Allow your curiosity to explore wide open spaces... In general, North Dakota's open landscape is lush with diversity, opportunity, and possibility. With world-class fishing, hiking, biking, golfing, camping, water recreation, horseback riding, wildlife viewing, skiing, and hunting, Belcourt has no exception to there. Belcourt is within the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation with a population of approximately 2,000. It was originally known as Siipiising, which is Anishinaabe (Chippewa) for "Creek that sings with life-giving water." The name refers to what European Americans called Ox Creek, which flows right through the center of town. Belcourt allows you to follow your curiosity, not the crowd, to wide open spaces and love where you live.
