Butte Saint Paul State Recreation Area is a public recreation area located seven miles (11 km) northwest of Dunseith in Bottineau County, North Dakota.

The state park unit encompasses the 580-foot (180 m) Butte Saint Paul.

[3][4] A circular trail leads to the top of the peak, allowing hikers to take expansive views of the surrounding Turtle Mountain region.

[5] In January 1850, Jesuit missionary Georges-Antoine Belcourt and a small traveling party survived a blizzard by digging into the snow atop the peak.

The remains of the cross were rediscovered in the 1930s and were commemorated with a stone cairn and the declaration of a 10-acre (4.0 ha) state park.
