South Dakota’s Missouri River Region
Home to South Dakota's state capitol in Pierre, the Missouri River region is an outdoorsman’s playground. This place is perfect for year-round fishing, hiking, boating, and pheasant hunting.
Check out the beautiful river as it winds through the prairie hills and the mountain bluffs, cast a line for some walleye, or spend the day at a rodeo and festival and frontier town. Explore the region for fantastic waterfowl hunting as they migrate south for the winter, including geese and ducks.
Take a trip back in time to the unspoiled prairie with a visit to Fort Pierre National Grassland. See the site where Lewis & Clark met the Teton Sioux along their historic trek. And retrace the steps of the native Americans that once roamed this territory. This region will take your breath away with its stunning open spaces, endless sky, and beautiful landscape that has been carved by the mighty Missouri River.
