Annual Drinking Water Report

This is our opportunity to share information on the quality of water we provide to your home, apartment, or business.

Medical Assistance

Medical assistance is important to a retired person. We have a clinic in town with a doctor nearly every work day and a fine ambulance service. It is merely thirty minutes from the nearest hospital and only an hour and a half to a major medical center. Medivac planes and helicopters cut that response time to next-to-nothing.

Great Retirement Community

Our small town is in Southwest North Dakota where State Highway 8 and 21 meet. They call this area of North Dakota "The Banana Belt" because our weather is warmer and drier than the rest of the state. It is a town of about 850 people in farming and ranching country with good country values and an excellent work ethic.

This is a wonderful place to retire, filled with as much peace and quiet as can be found anywhere. If you are fed up with bumper-to-bumper traffic, high crime rate, noise, air pollution, fires, terrorism and whatever else that comes with a large city, then the town of Mott is for you. Yes, we have plenty of peace and quiet, wonderful clean air and security.

Cannonball Trail

In 2020 the Cannonball Trail was a mile and half walking path along the banks of the river. Now it’s been extended to link the river on the south side of Mott to the Watershed Dam on the north. Connecting these two bodies of water makes a five and half mile loop.

A trail committee of volunteers maintains the trail. If you are interested in helping and would like to contribute your time or make a donation, contact:

Sportsman Friendly Community

Are you a sportsman? We are considered the "Pheasant Hunting Capital of The Nation" Pheasant hunting in Mott, North Dakota." We also have lots of deer, antelope, grouse and turkeys. There is good fishing in the Cannon Ball river that runs through town and many well-stocked dams and ponds are close by. If you like big water, the Missouri River and lake Sakakawea is about one hundred miles from Mott.
