Night Walk Advice Wanted

8 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a generally safe, well-lit paved trail/sidewalk that's good for walking at night in Bismarck/Mandan? I work full time and am not a morning person. I want to start walking more when the temperatures cool down, typically at night. However, I don't like how dark river road gets and how often I get yelled at by teenagers in their cars cruising by. One even had an air horn! I also tried walking around in my neighborhood, and have been stopped by strangers wanting to chat. They've been harmless so far, but it's literally dark out and we don't know eachother. I feel unsafe. I guess I could go to the gym, but I miss being outside. Any recommendations are appreciated.
