What is the most boring state in America?

[PBrunsel]

What Iowa has many interesting things:

Wyatt Earp and Buffalo Bill's Birthplace.

The World's Fattest Pig

The Bix7 run

Canoeing up the mighty Mississippi

Maqoqeta Caves State Park

The Amana Colonies

And of course....

The Herbert Hoover Presidential Library

PBrunsel I thought you were going to tell us interesting things to do in Iowa not tell us why its so boring.

It's about as interesting as Liberty's list of North Dakota attractions.

[Schmitz in 1972]

Good lord what was I thinking?

North Dakota is a horribly boring state! I can't belive I ever liked it.  It's deadly boring just like Wyoming, Nebraska, Idaho, and all those other awful Conservative staes. My kingd of state wouild be Massachusetts or maybe California in San Francixco

[Rococo4]

Ohio

Wow, huge no to that one. There are a lot of fun things to do in Ohio.

Like what? Sit on your ass jobless like Mike Naso?

How many times have you been to Ohio, and where exactly did you go?

Also, Mike Naso is 15 and is still in school.  I think we can excuse his joblessness.

Ohio has the best amusment park in the world, for starters.

Florida has at least 3-4 better ones no doubt.

One, North Dakota is the most boring, and two, Cedar Point in Sandusky in Ohio is the best amusement park in the country, way better than anything in Florida.

Ohio

Ohio is much more interesting than most central-west states. I am a Chinese who has been lived in Ohio for a while and has traveled almost all over America. I have to say even Ohio is not big, but there are too much fun in Ohio: Cedar Point, Kings Island, Put-in-Bay, Great Lakes, rivers, Amish County, cities, zoos, aquariums, gardens, museums, Ohio Caverns, Cuyahoga, Dayton Air-force museum, Hocking Hills...
North Dakota, Nebraska (excludes Omaha), Indiana, Iowa, Idaho, Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Delaware, Maryland, Maine, Rhode Island....either too small or too boring or both.

[Suburbia]

Nebraska easily.

North Dakota-it's flat and there's nothing there!

Until the oil boom hit. Now it's like the wild West of old out in the western part. I find Indiana singularly uninteresting, but that's just me. Iowa, with which I have ancestral connections, and land, is also well- drab. The most boring place, albeit not a whole state, is the singularly awful west Texas.

I had not seen this thread before and don't know why it was resurrected.  There are interesting and boring places in all states.  But, as far as North Dakota is concerned, there are some gorgeous places there.  Theodor Roosevelt National Park, not far from my hometown, is both geologically interesting and breathtaking.

And for all you citified critters who thinks flat plains are just boring, take some time out of your iLives to watch a sunset light up a partly clouded sky over them and make out the contours of buttes thirty miles away, or follow stormclouds with 40,000 foot thunderheads as they roll toward you for four hours, or gaze up at the Northern Lights from midnight to 2:00 am in the NoDak summer nights.  They never bored me; that landscape is beautiful.

I definitely agree with you. There is a certain beauty to the wide-open expanse that I guess many on Atlas just don't/can't appreciate.

As to the question, I wouldn't consider any state "boring" in any sense of the word so I'll refrain from answering.

For rural scenery -- northern Illinois. If I must drive on 80, 55, 57, or 70 I need the music on loud and strong. Even the Tri-State Tollway goes through an ugly scar of urban sprawl.

I'm guessing that 39, 72, 74, and 90 are much the same.

Even in Nebraska one has the gallery forest along the Platte River along Interstate 80 from about Grand Island west to North Platte.

John Steinbeck once said that the most boring route in America is "US 80/90" (he really meant Interstate 80 and 90) across Indiana and Ohio -- The Ohio Turnpike and the Indiana Toll Road.

The worst single route for boredom is US 77 in far south Texas between Kingsville and the Lower Rio Grande Valley -- the same unending scene of nothingness but semi-desert vegetation on either side, a single-track railroad to the right of the southbound lanes, no hills, no curves, and no towns.

Northern Indiana, don't get me wrong, it's a great place to live with great people, it's just really boring and doesn't offer anything special.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Iowa is a great state. My dad always told me it's the closest thing America has to Hungary. I would love to visit someday.

I would love to hear what this is about.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Delaware.

[Vega]

Delaware.

This or Nebraska.

[Mr. Smith]

Delaware has the sandbars and beaches.

Nah, easily Kansas.

[TDAS04]

Delaware or Kansas.  Iowa's much more interesting than people think.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Probably Iowa, if you exclude political factors.  Otherwise, Kansas.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Hard to say. If you've ever seen a thunderstorm light up the sky on the Kansas plains you might not be so quick to choose it.

[Phony Moderate]

Not Nebraska, as Saul Goodman manages a Cinnabon in Omaha.

Both are "bread baskets," with some density in population relatively speaking for a rural area.
