The Lakeview Drive-In was one of two drive-ins in Dickinson. It was opened on April 27, 1973 with Cliff Robertson in “The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid” & Sean Bury in “Friends”. Located for many years out by Patterson Lake Recreation Area, it was a good place to get away from it all and see a movie on a starlit night. It was closed on September 1, 1986 with Kate Capshaw in “SpaceCamp”.

I think both names were used. In the book, Centennial Roundup: A History of Dickinson North Dakota, it was listed as the Lakeview, but I do believe the old sign used to say Lake Vue.

A closer address (at least for Google) is 3708 114th Ave SW, Dickinson, ND. A business currently sits on the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/h2rdxx8

This opened during the early-1960s and closed on August 31, 1986 with “SpaceCamp” (I cannot confirm if a second feature was shown for not because it was unlisted on ad). Dean’s Repair, a farm equipment repair and service shop opened on the site in February 1998.
