North Dakota Highway 19 (ND 19) is an east–west route through central North Dakota. It runs from County Road 19 (CR 19) at the McHenry–Pierce county line to ND 20 in Devils Lake, a total of 70 miles (112.65 km). It has one concurrency with US Highway 281 (US 281) for four miles (6.4 km) near Minnewaukan.
ND 19 begins at the McHenry–Pierce county line traveling east as a continuation of CR 19. The highway travels two miles (3.2 km) south of Battema Lake and two miles (3.2 km) north of Lesmeister Lake before intersecting with ND 3. After this intersection, the route heads northeast for two miles and forms the northern border of the Buffalo Lake National Wildlife Refuge, crossing Buffalo Lake in the process.
Three miles (4.8 km) after entering Benson County, ND 19 enters the small city of Esmond. After leaving Esmond, the route travels north for two miles. After turning east again for 11 miles (18 km), the highway intersects with ND 30. About 12 miles (19 km) east of this intersection, ND 19 reaches the city of Minnewaukan and begins a four-mile (6.4 km) concurrency with US 281. During this concurrency, the route travels northwest for three miles, then due north for the last mile (1.6 km). After this concurrency, the highway heads east once more and crosses Pelican Lake before crossing Oswalds Bay and entering Ramsey County.
