IN THE HEART OF THE STATE Welcome to Central South Dakota, where western culture begins. Here, history is remembered and traditions are continued, from museums’ preserved artifacts and original 1800s structures to rodeos and powwows. Explore the riverside and great plains towns, experience the five tribes of the Oceti Sakowin, traverse the outdoors over land or water. Follow the famous explorers Lewis & Clark trail, or ride the mountain biking trails criss-crossing the rolling hills along the Missouri. Find excellent hunting along the river. It creates ample and varied habitats for waterfowl, big game, and small game wildlife. Visit South Dakota’s capitol, Pierre, its beautiful 100-year-old capitol building and grounds spread with monuments dedicated to our state’s heroes and historical figures. FOLLOW THE RIVER - SAIL THE LAKES Life here revolves around the Missouri River. Divided by hydroelectric dams into four large reservoirs, the river provides various habitats for fishing enthusiasts and water sports recreation. Boats of all kinds cross these waters: from sails to motors, family pontoons to solo ski jets, kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards, there is a place for every kind of watercraft. Anglers love the world-class fishing up and down the river; catch walleye, perch, pike, catfish, even salmon in the deep, cold waters of Lake Oahe.
