are North and South Dakota the most boring states?

No, been through it several times, but then again it depends what you are into and what your interests are. In South Dakota check out the Black Hills and surrounding communities (Rapid City, Deadwood, Mount Rushmore, the "Badlands", Harney Peak, the Needles Highway, etc) all year long. Sturgis Bike Rally in August. The Missouri River provides excellent walleye fishing. It's the pheasant hunting capital of the world. Several places to learn about U.S. history. Try "chislic", a state favorite and probably one of the only places you'll ever find it.

I'm not really familiar with what all North Dakota has to offer, but if one was to do his/her homework I'm sure you'll find quite a bit to your interest there as well. I do know Medora is an interesting place with lots to see.

The two states are an outdoor paradise if you're into hunting, fishing, and camping.

As many have said, SD has the Black Hills near Rapid City, you've got Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Bear Country, Reptile Gardens, the Cosmos, then drive a few minutes to Deadwood, it's an old wild west town, come in the summer to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, there is plenty to do.

North Dakota has Medora, look it up, it's a neat place.

No.

That would be Nebraska.

As for South Dakota, in addition to the Black Hills, Mt. Rushmore, The Badlands, Needles, Deadwood, and other locales, I would suggest you visit Sturgis during the annual world's largest motorcycle. I guarantee you won't be bored, but if you can't run with the big dogs, you'd better stay on the porch.

irrational thinking: OMFG Boy have you never heard of Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons? It's awesome. How about the Flaming Gorge, Devil's Tower, Medicine Bow National Forest and The Snowy Range? You kiddos need to learn to leave the Interstate once in a while and see the country. I-80 and I-25 were intentionally built through the "most boring", i.e., FLAT portions of the state to save on fuel, distance, and construction costs. I-80 traces several of the major western immigration trails, the Oregon Trail, California Trail, and the Mormon Trail.

I've lived in Wyoming for a long time and places like these are not boring if you like nature. South Dakota has Mount Rushmore, Badlands, Black Hills, and different places you can hike. I would only call these places boring if you're looking for city life.

North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming get a bad rep, from people who never been there. They are and outdoors man's paradise!!!

Now, Nebraska well, the state motto should be, "If you move here, you better find a hobby!!!" lol

I would say Nebraska and North Dakota are the most boring states. Nebraska is flat, and there is nothing in ND

Well, Kansas and Nebraska seem pretty dull to me too. I think the whole corridor north of Texas (plus Iowa) might be a National Boringness Zone, besides the aforementioned Badlands. As for Rushmore, I can't imagine it being much more exciting than a photograph of it.

@BeAngryButSinNot: Hey now, I don't go to Starbucks. You ruralites seem kind kind of bitter about the (sub)urban parts of the country, what with implying that we like Starbucks and all. We don't conform to your stereotypes any more than you do to ours. But honestly, Starbucks?

[Also, I didn't appreciate being called a fake American.]

And

STAAAAAAAARBUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS?!?!?!

I understand the amazingness of the outdoors, and I can see South Dakota being really good for that, but North Dakota (and Nebraska) still seem dull. The amazing part of the outdoors is the forested and/or mountainous and/or ocean-y part, and there's a not a lot of that in ND and NE. I like Maine-style outdoors, not Nebraska-style.

Go to South Dakota and see Mt Rushmore.

Go to Deadwood and gamble.

Go to Sturgis when they hold the annual motorcycle rally.

Go see where they filmed Dances with Wolves.

It's a nice place to visit. But I wouldn't want to live there.

They weren't boring for me. I was driving using directions from a friend about how to get to her cousin's house from Minneapolis. "Take Hwy 26" it said. So I did and got lost in miles and miles of rolling farm country with no mountains to orient myself. It turns out that every one of the gazillion little counties in the Dakotas has the same numbered highways. Then I got a speeding ticket because I thought it was open road and 75 mph was the speed limit. Nope. Had to follow a trooper back to a dinky little town and pay the fine on the spot because I was from out of state. Saw pheasants and gophers the size of house cats. Dahlia flowers the size of turkey platters. You don't have to watch out for snails and slugs on the sidewalk after it rains there. And I learned that the beginning of summer in South Dakota is what we call "Winter" in SoCal;-) Also, learned that the mosquitos there will bite through 3 layers of clothing and that you can get a very good Taco Salad in a most out-of-the-way little diner close to the Minnesota border but they don't know what salsa is.

Besides getting lost and loosing $245 I needed for my travels, I liked the open scenery but I wouldn't recommend those states unless you like down-to-earth, solid people and love peace and quiet, nature and agriculture or have family or friends there.
