If unique landscapes are at the top of your wish list when looking for a great trail, you’re in the right place. Head to Lewis & Clark Recreation Area, where the trails follow the chalkstone bluffs along the Missouri River and offer beautiful water views. Make sure to catch the golden glow of the bluffs at sunset. Another hot spot for unique scenery is Palisades State Park, where trails lead you in and around beautiful rock formations.

WATER

GET YOUR FEET WET WITH OUR WATER RECREATION

With four great rivers to explore and too many lakes to count, Southeast South Dakota has unforgettable ways for you to get on and in the water.

VARIETY OF WATERS

If the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Southeast South Dakota’s landscape is cornfields and pastures, you wouldn’t be wrong.

While our corner of the state is proud of its agricultural industry and rolling open spaces, we are also home to a lot of water!

With a variety of lakes and rivers to enjoy, there are really great ways to spend time in, on, and near water. When you’re making plans to visit, make sure to work in time to enjoy the beauty, serenity, and recreation of our waters!

RIVER PADDLING

Immerse yourself in the beauty of Southeast South Dakota by paddling. Pair your canoe or kayak outings with fishing, swimming, and camping. These adventures can be a couple of hours or an entire week. Make a plan, check regulations, and know safety tips for our area before you go.

BOATING

What’s better than having a boat? Having friends with boats! Most of our state parks offer lakes that are great for skiing, tubing, wakeboarding, you name it. If it’s sailing you’re into, you’ll want to venture south to Lewis & Clark

Lake, where the open water and wind speeds are ideal for sailing.

SWIMMING

Spending a summer day at the beach is how great memories are made. Pack a picnic, some sand toys, and a floatie. Head to Lewis & Clark Recreation Area to find numerous beaches to choose from. Lake Herman near Madison and Lake Vermillion near Canistota are also great options for swimming waters.

LAKES

The sky’s the limit when you head to the lake! Hang out on the beach and take in the sights

and sounds of the water. Go for a swim, practice your paddling skills, fish for that night’s dinner, or picnic with a view. Looking to sail? Head to Lewis & Clark Lake. Want numerous lakes in one local area? Madison is an excellent place for that! Whatever you decide to do, we recommend unplugging to take it all in.

FALLS PARK

Make a stop at Falls Park, Sioux Falls’ namesake. Sit back and relax as you watch the Big Sioux River cascade over the quartzite rock formations in stunning, powerful waterfalls. This destination is a great find all year long and is a holiday site to see during December!

RIVERS

SPLIT ROCK CREEK

Although officially named Split Rock CREEK, many consider it a river because of its beautiful vistas, history, and charm. This little creek winds through miles of farmland until it gets to Garretson. Here, an adorable dam creates a peaceful waterfall. From this point, you can paddle through the eery and ominous Devil’s Gulch to Palisades State Park. Along the way, enjoy exposed Sioux quartzite rock formations that create breathtaking creek walls, towering to 50 feet high in places. Paddle this route in spring when the waters are really flowing, and you might even get a whitewater ride! Just make sure to do your research and know your ability.

THE BIG SIOUX RIVER

Winding southward to Sioux Falls, it forms the boundary between South Dakota and Iowa until flowing into the Missouri River. With a total of 419 river miles, it’s a favorite paddling destination. Try the segment from Sioux Falls’ Lien Park to Newton Hills State Park in spring and summer. Watch for several low-head dams where watercraft must be portaged. Use the Jay Heath Canoe and Kayak Trail to locate dams, launch sites, and campgrounds.

VERMILLION RIVER

The Vermillion River is a scenic run from Centerville south to the Missouri River We recommend exploring this in the fall when the colors are especially showy.

JAMES RIVER

The James River is a curvy prairie stream that meanders through our countryside landscape. This slow-moving and shallow route is excellent for beginners.

MISSOURI RIVER

Exploring our section of the Missouri National Recreational River is like taking a step back in time. It’s wild and untamed, and it continues to flow as nature intended as it maintains the border between South Dakota and Nebraska. This mighty river is 20+ feet deep in some areas. There are no rapids, but high winds and underwater sandbars can make this journey a tough one. Paddlers should be experienced.

Our history is made up of conflict, hard work, and new beginnings. From native residents to homesteading pioneers, our backstory is one for the books.

Attend a pow-wow to experience the current-day celebration of tribal heritage. Visit the homelands of the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska and learn about their rich history and culture.

LEWIS & CLARK

Stand where Lewis and Clark stood at Spirit Mound Historic Prairie, just six miles north of Vermillion. This is one of the many spots in our region that the Corps of Discovery passed through in 1804. Visual displays about their journey can be found at the Lewis & Clark Visitor Center and the Mead Museum. Look for an exciting new addition to the Mead Museum’s Journeying Forward: Connecting Cultures exhibit in 2025 as they become the home of an original Jefferson Peace Medal, one that Lewis & Clark handed out themselves as they passed through the Dakota Territory.

PIONEER LIFE

Walk down a turn-of-the-century main street at Historic Prairie Village and explore the ins and outs of over 40 historic buildings. Ride one of the world’s last remaining steam-powered carousels that has been restored to its original condition and their steam-powered train around the entire campus. Experience more turn-of-the-century history at museums such as the Dakota Discovery Museum, The Center for Western Studies, Heritage Hall, Daneville Heritage Museum, W.H. Over Museum, and more!

LAURA INGALLS WILDER

Laura Ingalls Wilder’s “Little House” books come alive when you explore De Smet and experience our pioneer heritage first-hand. Covered wagon rides, a one-room schoolhouse session, and handson homesteading activities will have you feeling like you’ve been transported back to 1880. Don’t worry; the plumbing has been updated for your comfort.

The impressive historic building that housed the state hospital still stands today as the Mead Museum and welcomes you to take a step into the past with them. Take your photo on the beautifully restored marble staircase.

A PINK ROCK

Look around the region, and you’ll see a metamorphic rock that’s over 1.6 billion years old and almost as hard as a diamond. It can be found in buildings, landscaping, roads, and natural rock formations. The hues are primarily pink tones, giving it the nickname “rose stone” or “pink quartzite.”

PUBLIC ART

WHERE THERE’S UNIQUE ART TO ENJOY AROUND EVERY CORNER

Southeast South Dakota is where creativity meets community, and public art inspires and connects us.

Road trips, bike rides, and downtown strolls are always better when there's gorgeous artwork to look at.

Downtown Sioux Falls has an impressive sculpture walk with over 80 pieces to enjoy. It changes every May so you can enjoy new work year after year. It is also home to many unique wall murals. We recommend wandering around downtown to see if you can find them all.

The Arc of Dreams is a signature sculpture for the Sioux Falls SculptureWalk and the city itself. It spans the Big Sioux River and is one you will definitely want to see. We recommend viewing it at night when it is lit up!

Amazing paintings and murals are also scattered throughout our region. You’ll find numerous works of art in downtown Vermillion, the “city of murals.” They make great selfie backdrops! Don’t forget to tag us when you post your photos! #SESouthDakota

Porter Sculpture Park is a fan-favorite roadside attraction just off of I-90 near Montrose. Here, you’ll find over 60 metal sculptures with accompanying poetry designed and created by sculptor Wayne Porter.

Head to Sioux City, where you’ll find a vibrant art scene, from alley murals to a public art center and everything in between. They have seven free museums of all sorts, including art museums. There’s so much to see, you should plan to make a weekend out of it!

LODGING

REST EASY AND SNOOZE IN STYLE WHEN YOU STAY WITH US

The variety of options in Southeast SD continues to grow. Wherever you decide to stay, you’re sure to be met with a warm midwest welcome.

HOTELS & MOTELS

A long day of adventure calls for a good night’s sleep. If luxury hotels are your vibe, we’ve got you. Hotel on Phillips is a beautiful historic boutique hotel where every room has a fun personality of its own. Canopy by Hilton Downtown Sioux Falls is a brand new, beautiful boutique hotel located in The Steel District. It neighbors Levitt at the Falls, Falls Park, and Downtown Sioux Falls. Some of our favorite spots, like Fensel’s Motel & Gift Shop, Cobblestone Inn, and Hometown Inn, are scattered across the region in small towns. These locally-owned motels have rural charm and some of the best people you’ll ever meet.

BED & BREAKFAST

If a classic B&B experience is what you’re looking for, the Steever House needs to be your next overnight destination. With unique decor and local breakfast cuisine, you’ll get a true South Dakota experience here.

RESORTS & RENTALS

If you’re looking for lodging with the amenities of home, we have some great options for you! Lewis & Clark Resort has styles for groups of any size, with beautiful lake views and beach access. Main Street Inn is a beautifully renovated historical home perfect for groups and hosting events. Head to the countryside where Dakota

Country Home offers an entire house to cozy up in and Blue Tin Ranch welcomes you to stay in their renovated chicken coop! Pfanny’s Farm is another peaceful countryside oasis where you can disconnect and relax in their garden cottage.

LODGES

At The Cogan House, you can rent just one room or the entire lodge. Either way, the views of the Missouri River and miles of the natural landscape are hard to top! Planning a reunion or wedding? Keep the beautiful Granite Springs Lodge in mind. Get up close and personal with nature when you stay at SD Outfitters Unlimited lodge.

STATE PARK LODGING

Want the adventure of camping AND the comfort of a hotel? Have both when you stay in one of the lodges found in many of our state parks. With bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens, they make staying in nature easy! We love the peaceful options in Newton Hills, Palisades, and Ponca State Parks

CASINO RESORTS

Play where you stay when you’re at Grand Falls Casino Resort, Royal River Casino, or Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Sioux City. Catch a concert, dinner, and a night of gaming without even having to leave the building.
