South Dakota State Parks Reservation System: 1-800-710-CAMP (2267) or www.CampSD.com
The reservation system is open year round. Reserve modern, semi-modern and equestrian campsites in most state parks and recreation areas. Campsites are reservable from
late May through Labor Day. Big Sioux, Lewis & Clark, Newton Hills and Palisades also accept autumn reservations through early October. At other times of the year, campsites
are available on a first-come, first-served basis. You can also reserve picnic shelters and camping cabins year round. Reservations can be made up to 90 days in advance.
Reservations are accepted as few as two days prior to arrival when using a credit card, or 10 days for other payment methods. Lewis & Clark has designated same-day reservation campsites. A weekend campsite report is available on the state park website at www.gfp.sd.gov/state-parks/ each Wednesday during the reservation season.
While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of these listings, all information is subject to change.

Historic Sights Along
the Lewis & Clark Trail
Adams Homestead and Nature Preserve:
At Adams Nature Preserve, you can see one of the last freeflowing segments of the Missouri River. Miles of hiking and biking
trails crisscross the preserve. Located near Nor th Sioux City.
Site of First Election West of the Mississippi:
Following the death of Sgt. Floyd, Captains Meriwether Lewis and
William Clark needed a sergeant to replace him. A vote was held
August 22, 1804. Patrick Gass received 19 votes in what is believed
to be the first election by U.S. citizens west of the Mississippi. This
election was held where the town of Elk Point now stands.
Spirit Mound:
Local tribes believed that 18-inch devils, armed with arrows,
inhabited this prairie hill. The story sparked Lewis and Clark’s
interest, and on Aug. 25, 1804, they set off on foot to investigate.
The men hiked for 4 hours, but at the top, the infamous devils were
nowhere to be found. However, the explorers did see an incredible
sight: a herd of buffalo, nearly 800 of them, grazed in the distance.
Spirit Mound Historic Prairie is located 6 miles nor th of Vermillion on
Hwy. 19. It features a 3/4 mile hiking trail to summit with interpretive signage and 300 acres of prairie currently restored to original
grasses and wildflowers.
Lewis and Clark Visitor Center:
On Aug. 30, 1804 the expedition held its first council with the
Yankton Sioux. The explorers presented the Yanktons with gifts of
tobacco, flags and medals. The Yanktons prepared a feast. The
To l l F re e 1 - 8 8 8 - 3 5 3 - 7 3 8 2
Lewis and Clark Visitor Center is a great place to learn more about
the expedition, the tribes they encountered and the river itself. Built
on a bluff overlooking Lewis and Clark Lake and the Gavins Point
Dam, the center offers incredible photo oppor tunities. Located on
Hwy. 52 west of Yankton. To reach the Visitor Center, take the bridge
across Gavins Point Dam.
Running Water:
On Sept. 2, 1806, on their return trip, Lewis and Clark met up
with a group of Yankton Sioux and after realizing they were friends,
smoked several pipes and exchanged news. Standing Bear Bridge
now spans the Missouri connecting South Dakota and Nebraska near
that site. A scenic lookout offers a breathtaking view of the river.
Interpretive Panels:
The Lewis & Clark Trail is a driving route that follows the Missouri
River. Interpretive panels along the way mark sites of interest.

The extensive trail systems throughout southeast South Dakota are calling out to those
who love to explore or who just want to experience the clear air and wonderful scenery
found here. Pick your favorite mode of transpor tation: bicycle, horseback, cross-country
skis, snowmobile or your own two feet. Trails range from meticulously groomed, paved and
level surfaces, to terrain suitable for only the most extreme mountain biker or hiker.
A variety of guided “Walk in the Park” hikes are available at our state parks or take your
favorite bird, animal or plant book and see how many different species of each you can
identify. Handicap accessible trails are located at Beaver Creek Nature Area, Big Sioux,
Lewis & Clark and Pierson Ranch Recreation Areas and Adams Homestead.
If you're a horse lover, several state parks offer designated equestrian trails; some with
camping facilities especially designed for horses and their riders.
Newton Hills Woodland Trail, near Canton, is on the National Recreational Trails registry.
Crossing dense forests and open grasslands, it is an exceptional trail for birdwatchers. You
don't want to miss the observation tower where a climb to the top promises an amazing
view. Breathtaking displays of fall color can be enjoyed September through early November.
To see a century old homestead, visit the Adams Homestead & Nature Preserve near
Nor th Sioux City. There you'll find 10 miles of trails along the Missouri River, with wildlife
viewing blinds along the trail and the oppor tunity to explore the home, barns, church and
a school house. Guided golf car t tours are available for those with physical disabilities.
You can walk, jog or bike your way along the Big Sioux River in Sioux Falls, beginning at
Falls Park and continuing around the city to the Outdoor Campus.
You'll find four trails that twist and turn through scenic quar tzite formations along Split
Rock Creek at Palisades State Park, near Garretson. Historic sites along the trail include a
historic bridge designated as a National Historic Structure. A challenging climb on towering
Sioux quar tzite spires and sheer cliff walls await the more adventurous outdoorsman.
Devil’s Gulch also provides scenic trails amidst legends of outlaw Jesse James.
Union Grove State Park, near Beresford, features a large variety of trees which
provide impressive fall colors and attract many different birds. And for you horse
lovers, how about 150 acres of rolling hills with many trails at your disposal?
Big Sioux Recreation Area lies on the banks of the Big Sioux River and offers
prime examples of tallgrass prairie. Five miles of trails ramble through woodland
and prairie. A bicycle trail connects with the nearby town of Brandon. In winter,
snowshoers and snowmobilers can hit the trails and relax afterwards at the
warming house. Nearby Beaver Creek Nature Area is a great place to view a variety
of wildlife. An 1870's cabin is the centerpiece for historic living history programs.
Stand where Lewis and Clark stood 200 years ago. Take the three-quar ter mile
trail to the summit of Spirit Mound, near Vermillion, where over 300 acres of prairie
has been restored. Interpretive signage makes this hike a learning experience.
Lewis and Clark Recreation Area, Yankton, has miles of trails including paved lakeside trails and rugged mountain bike trails. The system of trails also connects to
nearby Yankton. The newly opened double decker Meridian Bridge Trail in Yankton
offers hikers and bikers great views of the Missouri River.
With 126 miles of snowmobile trails around the region, the Siouxland Trails of
Sioux Falls, Dell Rapids, Renner, Coleman, Madison and Har tford offer winter fun.
So get off the beaten path and take your family on an adventure any time of
year in southeast South Dakota.

Big Sioux River
Originating in nor theastern South Dakota, the Big Sioux River winds southward to
Sioux Falls, where it forms the boundary between South Dakota and Iowa until it meets
the Missouri River. With good water levels in the spring and early summer, it is possible to
paddle from US Hwy 14 near Brookings to the river’s confluence with the Missouri River.
Paddlers favor the segment from Lien Park in Sioux Falls to Newton Hills State Park.
Points of interest include Big Sioux Recreation Area, Gitchie Manitou Park, the old
Klondike Mills site and Newton Hills State Park. Big Sioux and Newton Hills have canoe
launch sites and camping facilities. Park entrance license is required. Be cer tain to
locate ALL dams before setting out.
James River
The James River, a typical prairie stream, has been noted as the longest unnavigable
river in the world. For tunately, this distinction doesn’t apply to paddlers who travel the
river in spring and early summer. There are a number of access points near US and SD
Highways.
Split Rock Creek
Split Rock Creek winds a scenic route through nor theastern Minnehaha County before
meeting the Big Sioux River east of Sioux Falls. During high water flow in spring and after
heavy summer rain, it is one of South Dakota’s best streams for white-water paddlers.
The stream drops 130 feet in 8 miles between the SD Hwy 11 access west of Garretson
through Palisades State Park to the SD Hwy 11 access nor th of Corson. Access can be
found at Palisades State Park as well as McHardy Park in Brandon. The sheer walls of
red quar tzite that line por tions of the creek provide a scenic trip for paddlers.
Vermillion River
Generally, this scenic river can be paddled from spring to fall from Centerville south to
the Missouri River. Launching access may be found at rights-of-way that cross the river.
Late summer and fall canoeing is best from the road crossing east of Wakonda to the
Missouri River. Colorful fall foliage is especially showy from Vermillion southward.

The Missouri National Recreational River
The Missouri National Recreational River preserves two stretches
of the Missouri River. Forming much of the border between South
Dakota and Nebraska, it is also par t of the nation’s Wild and Scenic
River system. Congress added the 59-mile reach between Gavins
Point Dam and Ponca State Park in 1978 and the 39-mile reach,
which includes the lower 20 miles of the Niobrara River and the
lower eight miles of Verdigre Creek, between Ft. Randall Dam and
Running Water in 1991.
In the eastern reach the "Big Muddy" is vast, spectacular and
unique, flowing fast past chalk bluffs, some as high as 100 feet.
The river valley is as wide as two miles in some places, a testament
to the twists and turns the river has taken over the last several
thousand years. Islands, bars, and chutes attest to the
river’s dynamic character.
The river in the western reach is more than 20 feet deep, with
thick groves of willow and cottonwood trees growing on numerous
islands and sandbars. Limestone bluffs rise 250 feet over the
untamed river. The main channel twists and turns in gnarled braids
from one shore to the other, and the river flows slower, sometimes
as slow as a lazy two miles per hour.
Native floodplain forests, tall and mixed grass prairie remnants,
and the rivers and tributaries themselves provide habitat for several
endangered and threatened bird and fish species.
Fishing and Hunting
Walleye, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, bluegill, and catfish
are popular catches. In season hunters take geese, ducks, quail,
turkeys, pheasants, and deer. Licenses required.

Have Some Reel Fun
More than 175 fishing lakes, ranging in size up to 29,000 acres, make southeast
South Dakota a fisherman's paradise. With three major rivers, the Big Sioux, the James
and the Missouri River, coursing through this region, the youngest to the oldest can go
home with a whopper of a fish story. Walleye and bass compete for top honors. Lewis
and Clark Lake, above the Gavins Point Dam, draws anglers from across the nation with
its alluring combination of largemouth and smallmouth bass.
Fishing piers for those with accessibility needs have been installed at Lake Herman,
Newton Hills, Lake Vermillion, Lake Alvin, Lewis & Clark and Springfield Recreation Area.
These piers offer low railings, accessible ramps, sidewalks and nearby parking areas.
South Dakota fishing waters, excluding tribal trust land, hold a free weekend of fishing
each year. Join in the fun on May 17-19, 2013 and enjoy a weekend of fishing on us.
The entrance fees in all South Dakota Parks are waved this weekend as well.
Our fishing season never closes, so your annual fishing license is good year around.
For the true spor tsman with a warm disposition and a good down parka, ice fishing can
be a great relief to cabin fever.
The fishing in southeast South Dakota is always a good time. What are you waiting for?

A Hunter’s Paradise
Stop on any country road in Southeast South Dakota and you’ll
be stopping in a hunter’s paradise. South Dakota’s state bird, the
Chinese Ringnecked Pheasant, thrives in the excellent habitat
provided by the South Dakota landscape.
Thousands of hunters descend upon the Southeast Region of the
state in the fall for their chance at the wily pheasant. Hotels and
restaurants gear up for the season with special menus and friendly
people to make your stay enjoyable.
Hunting is a year-round spor t in southeast South Dakota.
Though pheasant and deer are the most popular, hunters will find
a wide variety of abundant game.
Pheasant
Traditional season: Mid-Oct. to early Jan. Season Opens Oct. 19,
2013. Preserve season, Sept. through March.
Range and Habitat: Although pheasants are found statewide, the
main pheasant range encompasses the eastern two-thirds of the
state. Pheasants prefer agricultural fields, wooded draws, tree
strips, wetlands and set-aside acres. Most of South Dakota is
privately owned and permission is required to hunt, but public lands
such as Game Production Areas and Walk-In Areas offer choice
habitat for pheasants. Early in the season, pheasants are scattered
in small flocks, but winter’s fury pushes birds into heavy cover and
concentrates them. Tree strips, cattail sloughs and dense weed
patches hold pheasants this time of year. Search for small, out-ofthe-way pockets that may have escaped the hunting pressure of
large groups. Small sloughs, plum thickets or even fence line vegetation hold pheasants. Prepare for weather. Fall weather conditions
range from 70 degrees to snow and below-zero wind chills.
22
Ducks
Traditional Season: Late Sept. to Dec.
Range and Habitat: More than 15 million ducks migrate annually
through South Dakota. They include mallards, gadwall, pintails
and teal. Along the Missouri River, the migration peaks in mid-Nov.
with 600,000 ducks, primarily mallards.
Geese
Traditional Season: Sept. to late-Dec.
Range and Habitat: The Missouri River corridor is the main route
for more than 400,000 migrating Canada geese, and eastern South
Dakota attracts 350,000 snow- and blue-geese migrants.
East River Deer
Traditional Season: Firearm, mid-Nov. thru early Dec. Archery,
late Sept. thru Jan.
Range and Habitat: Crops such as corn, oats, wheat, sunflowers
and soybeans attract the whitetail deer population. Mule deer
hunting is limited to counties bordering the Missouri River. Rolling
pastures, tree strips, river bottoms and cattail sloughs provide
escape cover for the deer.
Prairie Turkey
Traditional Season: Spring firearm and archery, early April to
mid-May. Fall prairie turkey, early Oct. through Jan.
Range and Habitat: Turkeys prefer the woods and brushy hillsides
of rivers, as well as tree belts.
Hunting on Public & Private Lands
South Dakota has over 5 million acres of hunting oppor tunity
on public and private land that has been leased for public hunting. Public lands available for hunting include:
• Game Production Areas: Managed for the production and
maintenance of all wildlife species. Although species emphasis
varies from site to site, all wildlife benefits.
• Waterfowl Production Areas: Managed for the production of
waterfowl, but other game and nongame species thrive on them
as well.
Keep in mind several public lands require nontoxic shot for all
shotgun hunting of small game. Public lands may have specific
restrictions.
Private lands open for hunting include:
• Walk-In Areas: Privately owned lands, operating as working
farms and ranches. They are leased for public hunting access by
the South Dakota Depar tment of Game, Fish and Parks. No further permission from landowners is needed to hunt these areas.
No driving is allowed on Walk-In Areas except on designated trails
and parking areas.
• Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP): Open
year round to public hunting and fishing access.
• Controlled Hunting Access Program (CHAP): Privately owned
lands, operated as working farms and ranches, leased for public
hunting access by the South Dakota Depar tment of Game, Fish
and Parks primarily for big game hunting. Hunters using a CHAP

area must complete the required check in registration slip and
drop it in the self-service box.
The fact remains that the vast majority of the state is land held
in private ownership. Permission is required to hunt private land
in South Dakota. Your ability to develop a connection with private
landowners will enhance your hunting oppor tunities.
However, if you are unfamiliar with the area, hiring a local hunting guide can be well wor th the investment.
