SOUTHEAST REGION Kayak Race on the Missouri Missouri Continued from page 248 » 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 MMRR for its refreshing water and premier boating, fishing, and paddling. Exploring the "Big Muddy" by canoe or kayak is something you'll never forget. This recreational activity, however, is not for the novice, and requires appropriate watercraft. You can also camp, tour powerhouses and historic sites, birdwatch, visit a fish hatchery and aquarium, and explore quiet trails. The 800-acre Goat Island development, near Vermillion, is underway and will provide unparalleled backcountry recreational opportunities. 250 // #SESouthDakota
