SOUTHEAST REGION Missouri Continued from page 246 » HISTORICAL POINTS OF INTEREST The MNRR region can serve as a microcosm of the Lewis & Clark expedition. It is in this region they recorded their first impressions and descriptions of Plains Indians tribes. Their council with the Yankton Sioux demonstrated their diplomatic efforts. Clark drew maps of this part of the river. Joseph Fields killed the party's first bison near today's Burbank, SD. And the only death on the expedition occurred near the park.

THINGS TO SEE AND DO Most visitors come to the Missouri National Recreational River for its refreshing water and premier boating, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. Exploring the "Big Muddy" by canoe or kayak is something you'll never forget. This recreational activity, however, is not for the novice paddler, and requires appropriate watercraft. You can also camp, tour powerhouses and historic sites, birdwatch, visit a fish hatchery and aquarium, and explore quiet trails. 248 // #HiFromSD
