North Dakota Highway 8 (ND 8) is a 211.321-mile (340.088 km) north–south state highway in North Dakota, United States. The highway is split into two segments. The southern segment is 133 miles (214 km) long and travels from Lake Sakakawea near Twin Buttes to South Dakota Highway 75 (SD 75) near Hettinger. The northern segment is 78 miles (126 km) long and travels from Saskatchewan Highway 9 (SK 9) in Northgate on the Canada–United States border to ND 23 near New Town. The highway was originally continuous but was separated by the formation of Lake Sakakawea in the 1950s.

Route description

ND 8 enters North Dakota at SD 75’s northern terminus, four miles (6.4 km) south of Hettinger, where it turns east onto US 12 and runs concurrently for 8.1 miles (13.0 km). For the next 25.2 miles (40.6 km), ND 8 heads north alone after leaving US 12 and turns east onto ND 21, running concurrently with the latter highway for 7.7 miles (12.4 km). ND 21 turns off at Mott, while ND 8 continues north for 34.7 miles (55.8 km) until crossing over I-94 near Richardton. Skirting through the southern edge of Richardton, ND 8 turns to the north again at County Highway 10 and then runs for 29.6 miles (47.6 km) before joining ND 200 for 1.9 miles (3.1 km). At Halliday, ND 8 turns off ND 200 and once again heads north, meeting the end of ND 1806 halfway in the 13.6-mile (21.9 km) trek between Halliday and Twin Buttes.

North of Lake Sakakawea, ND 8 resumes again at a roundabout with ND 1804 and heads 23.5 miles (37.8 km) north to US 2 and Stanley. The 40.9-mile (65.8 km) course between Stanley and US 52 in Bowbells involves a brief concurrency with ND 50 and a section in the Lostwood National Wildlife Refuge. At US 52, ND 8 turns to the north for 6.8 miles (10.9 km) before leaving US 52 and ending at the Canadian border 7.3 miles (11.7 km) north of US 52. In Canada, the roadway continues as Saskatchewan Highway 9.
