SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA IS
A HUNTER’S PARADISE South Dakota’s state bird, the Ringnecked Pheasant, thrives in the excellent habitat provided by the South Dakota landscape. Hunters descend upon the southeast region of the state in the fall for their chance at the wily pheasant. You should be one of them! Hunting is a year-round sport in South Dakota. Small game, waterfowl and big game dominate the fall hunting seasons. Predator hunting fills the winter months, and spring signals the start of turkey hunting. The avid hunter will find South Dakota a virtual hunter’s paradise. Hotels and restaurants gear up for the season with special menus and friendly staff to make your stay enjoyable. The many hunting guides and outfitters are equipped to make your hunt successful and enjoyable. They are able to supply everything you need, from ammunition and hunting dogs to lodging. (See Hunting Guide, Services & Lodging on page 6.)
Pheasant Season Dates: October 16, 2021 - January 31, 2022. Preserves: September to March. Range and Habitat: Pheasants prefer agricultural fields, wooded draws, tree strips, wetlands and set-aside acres. Most of South Dakota is privately owned and permission is required to hunt, but public lands such as Game Production Areas and Walk-In Areas offer choice habitat for pheasants. Early in the season pheasants are scattered in small flocks, but winter pushes birds into heavy cover and concentrates them. Tree strips, cattail sloughs and dense weed patches hold pheasants this time of year.

When hunting public land it’s up to the hunter to determine if they will have a successful hunt. Although Game Production Areas and Wildlife Production Areas are managed for wildlife, the amount and quality of winter cover varies among them. The best bet is to look for tracts that have wide shelterbelts or terrain that could have provided protection from the wind. Pheasant Hunting Tips: Use a dog. Crippled birds can be hard to find without a dog. Hunt remote pockets. Search for small, out-of-the-way pockets that may have escaped the hunting pressure of large groups. Small sloughs, plum thickets or even fence line vegetation hold pheasants. Prepare for the weather. Fall can be a time of wide-ranging weather conditions. Plan to hunt in temperatures and weather from 70 degrees to snow and below-zero wind chills.
Goose Canada Goose Season: September to December (November to mid February in some areas). Light Goose: Spring - Mid February to early May. Fall - Late September to mid January. Range and Habitat: The Missouri River corridor is the main route for more than 400,000 migrating Canada geese. Eastern South Dakota attracts 350,000 snow- and blue-geese migrants.
1-888-353-7382 • www.southeastsouthdakota.com
Duck Traditional Season: Late September to December. Range and Habitat: More than 15 million ducks migrate annually through South Dakota. They include mallards, gadwall, pintails and teal. Numbers of birds vary, depending on the fall migration. Along the Missouri River, the migration peaks in midNovember. Waterfowl Hunting Tips: Plan early since nonresident waterfowl licenses are limited and are purchased through a limited lottery system. Pass shooting and field shooting are available for Missouri River goose hunting, mostly on private land or through hunting clubs. Hunting is also available on the river and limited public lands. Decoy placement can spell success or failure for your hunt. Group species accordingly and leave landing pockets for optimum shooting opportunities. Incorporate both ducks and geese into your decoy spread as confidence builders and in case either species pass by.

May. Fall prairie turkey, November through January. Range and Habitat: In eastern South Dakota, turkeys prefer the woods and brushy hillsides of rivers, as well as tree belts. Turkey Hunting Tips: Acquire permission to hunt since most land is private. Hunting spring turkeys late in the season is often better. Hens begin nesting later and gobblers begin wandering, making them more susceptible to calls. Combining fall turkey hunting with other fall seasons creates an exciting hunt. Prairie turkeys frequently use the same roost repeatedly. Spring turkey hunters rely on camouflage and calling to lure birds into range. Always identify target before shooting. For Disabled Hunters: A reduced fee Hunting and Fishing License is available for persons with total disability, certain veterans and for those with developmental disabilities.

Lewis & CLark Lake
REEL IN THE FUN ON SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA LAKES & RIVERS Southeastern South Dakota has more than 175 fishing lakes ranging in size up to 29,000 acres. Glacial lakes exist in the region in addition to numerous man-made lakes. Three major rivers course through the region: the Big Sioux River, James River, and Missouri River; which includes Lewis and Clark Lake, a 30-mile-long Missouri River reservoir. Southeast South Dakota is prepared to host fishermen yearround with open seasons on most species of fish. Private and city campgrounds, state parks and recreation areas provide more than 2,000 campsites welcoming our fishing visitors. A host of resorts and hotels are available for those who prefer the comfort of soft beds, hot showers and cable TV. (Page 13, 20-21)
Free Fishing Weekend South Dakota fishing waters, excluding tribal trust land, are open to anyone May 20-22, 2022 to fish without a license. This is an excellent opportunity to introduce someone to the sport of fishing or to try your luck for the first time.
Popular Fish Species The most fished species includes walleye, sauger, channel catfish, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, bullhead, bluegill, perch and crappie. Walleye and bass compete for top honors in this region. Lewis and Clark Lake reservoir, above Gavins Point Dam, draws anglers from across the nation with its alluring combination of
largemouth and smallmouth bass. Backwater bays, sandbar drop-offs, creeks, and stands of rushes provide the habitat for both species. Casting toward structure with various crankbaits, jerkbaits and spinnerbaits are popular methods, along with jigging during the heat of the summer. Walleye, sauger and catfish also make up the catches for Lewis and Clark anglers. Walleye anglers in this region troll crankbaits to locate schools of feeding fish in the flat-bottom lakes. Panfishermen will want to look for shallow weed beds during the spring and drop-offs during the summer. Still-fishing with a small jig or fly fishing with wet flies or small poppers is effective for bluegills. For young and old alike, nothing keeps fishing attention longer than bullheads. Good bullhead waters include most lakes and the Big Sioux and James Rivers. Other popular fishing waters: James River, Big Sioux River, Missouri River, Splitrock Creek, Lake Carthage, Tripp Lake, Marindahl Lake, Brant Lake, Lake Madison, Lake Herman, Lake Mitchell, Lake Yankton, Vermillion Lake, Wall Lake, Burbank Lake, Lake Alvin, McCook Lake, Lake Lakota and Lake Henry.
Accessible Fishing Docks Handicap accessible fishing docks have been installed in a number of state parks. These docks feature low railings, accessible ramps, sidewalks, and nearby parking. These fishing

docks are found at Lake Vermillion, Lake Alvin, Chief White Crane, Lewis & Clark and Springfield Recreation Areas, Newton Hills and Lake Herman State Parks.
FISHING LICENSE FEES Habitat Stamp
Spearing and Archery The spearing/archery seasons allow licensed anglers to take fish with a legal spear, legal speargun, legal crossbow or bow and arrow, with some restrictions for specific seasons and dates for game fish and rough fish. To take game fish by these methods in areas open to the taking of game fish, a Game Fish Spearing and Archery Fishing Permit is required.
(required prior to purchase of any license, one per year)
Anglers interested in paddlefish have two options, an archery season in June or a snagging season in October. Both seasons occur on the Missouri River between Gavins Point Dam and the Big Sioux River. Resident and non-resident anglers who wish to paddlefish must apply for a limited number of paddlefish tags.
Youth Fishing
Combination License
Nonresidents under age 16 do not need a fishing license when fishing with a parent/guardian who has a valid SD fishing license. Youth's fish must be included in the daily/possession limits of the parent/guardian. Youth wishing to take their own limit of fish may purchase a non-resident license.

Palisades State Park, Garretson
EXPERIENCE PALISADES FROM A NEW PERSPECTIVE
ROCK CLIMBING Ever been told to “hang in there”? You hear that a lot around Palisades State Park! Palisades State Park is one of the top 5 most popular state parks in South Dakota. A small, but scenic geologic wonder, Palisades is nestled among the sheer cliffs overlooking Split Rock Creek just a short half-hour’s drive from Sioux Falls. The park offers the regular menu of outdoor recreation opportunities, including camping, hiking, picnicking, and sightseeing. However, it also offers a unique form of outdoor excitement for the more adventuresome at heart. You see, Palisades is one of just a few premier rock climbing sites in the Midwest. Numerous climbing routes are easily accessed and provide a wide assortment of climbing experiences. The 1.6 billion year old Sioux quartzite formations play host to a variety of face and crack climbs, with even a few hidden bouldering sites thrown in for good measure. Whether top-roping a novice route on South Wall or Rattlesnake Rock, or a more ambitious route at Swing Set Cove or on Positron, climbers from all over the Midwest make the trek to Palisades to take on the forces of gravity. Since climbing is just one of many popular activities taking place at Palisades, there are a number of common courtesies expected. Also, since the geologic resources and related ecosystems are unique, and in some cases quite fragile, a few climbing restrictions have been developed over the years. Check with the park office for the latest information regarding climbing in the park. They can provide tips on low-impact climbing,
resource protection, co-existing with other park visitors and safe climbing practices in order to have best climbing experience possible. The nearby City of Garretson, just two miles north of the park, provides all the services necessary for an extended visit. With a campground, gas stations, grocery store, eating establishments, a motel, convenience stores, specialty shops, a new library, mechanics and even a few local "watering holes", this small community does it right when it comes to welcoming the traveling public. And for the history buff seeking to learn more about the legendary Jesse James and his "leap of faith", the Garretson city park at Devil’s Gulch adds a unique dimension to what the Palisades area has to offer. When you think of rock climbing, you don’t always have to venture out to the mountains. Sometimes a prairie oasis like Palisades State Park may offer more than meets the eye. And the views experienced while hanging from a rope fifty feet above the waters of Split Rock Creek are quite different than those experienced by other park visitors. It’s all a matter of perspective! Palisades State Park is located 10 miles north of I-90 off Exit 406 near Brandon. For more info, contact Palisades State Park, 25495 485th Avenue, Garretson, SD 57030, 605-594-3824 or visit the park webpage: gfp.sd.gov/parks/detail/palisades-state-park.

Missouri River
THIS IS THE PLACE FOR
PERFECT PADDLING Area rivers and lakes provide canoeists and kayakers with opportunities to enjoy nature, breathe fresh air, learn about area history and get some exercise. Our lakes and rivers offer pristine waters, picturesque scenery, historical sites and abundant wildlife. Outings can be combined with fishing, camping or exploring the shoreline. As you enjoy these waters, stay safe and protect the environment. Some South Dakota streams are passable year-round, while others offer seasonal floating only after snowmelt or rain in spring and early summer. Canoe/kayak trips can be just a couple of hours or a weeklong adventure depending on the river and your time. Identify all access areas and hazards before beginning. Sometimes portages are needed to get around dams, fences and sandbars. Always have a contingency plan to get off the river if weather or river conditions change or a paddler becomes sick or tired. Most shorelines in South Dakota are privately owned. Permission must be secured before going on the land. When paddlers are polite and respectful of property rights, many landowners are happy to grant camping permission. River sandbars may appear to be excellent camping sites but be aware that water releases from the dams on the Missouri River and rainfall can result in rising water. South Dakota law requires that non-motorized boats over 12 feet long, including canoes and kayaks, be licensed in South Dakota or another state. The registration decal must be shown on each side of the bow. Paddlers are encouraged, but not required, to display license numbers on their watercraft for easier identification, to provide more theft protection and to operate in other states that require affixed license numbers.
18
Every person in the watercraft must have a U.S. Coast Guard approved personal flotation device that fits properly, is readily available and in good and serviceable condition.
James River The James River, a typical prairie stream, has been noted as the longest unnavigable river in the world. Fortunately, this distinction doesn’t apply to paddlers who travel the river in spring and early summer. There are a number of access points near US and SD Highways.
Big Sioux River Originating in northeastern South Dakota, the Big Sioux River winds southward to Sioux Falls, where it forms the boundary between South Dakota and Iowa until it meets the Missouri River, near N. Sioux City. With good water levels in the spring and early summer, it is possible to paddle from US 14 near Brookings to the river’s confluence with the Missouri. Paddlers favor the segment from Lien Park in Sioux Falls to Newton Hills State Park. This stretch can usually be paddled spring and summer. Points of interest include the Big Sioux Recreation Area, Gitchie Manitou Park, Old Klondike Mills site, and Newton Hills State Park. Big Sioux and Newton Hills have canoe launch sites and camping facilities. A park entrance fee is required for entrance into these state parks. There are several dangerous low head dams where watercraft must be portaged to the other side. Know where the dams are and portage them. They may look harmless but the water action

quartzite line portions of the creek, making it a scenic trip.
Missouri River
Generally, this scenic river can be paddled from spring to fall from Centerville south to the Missouri River. Launching access is found at township, county, state, and federal rights-of-way that cross the river. Late summer and fall canoeing is best from the road crossing east of Wakonda to the Missouri River. Colorful fall foliage is especially showy from Vermillion southward.
Two segments of the Missouri River are administered by the National Park Service as the Missouri National Recreational River. They are also in the National Wild and Scenic River System. Today, these sections look much like they did in the early 1800’s during the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Due to the currents and sudden windstorms, these segments are for experienced paddlers only. If there is one thing that the “Mighty Mo” demands, it is respect. The first segment is 39 miles from the Randall Creek Recreation Area at Pickstown to Running Water. The river is wide and clear, and has many sandbars and small islands. The second segment is 59 miles long from below Gavins Point Dam to Ponca State Park in Nebraska. This segment has sandbars and several large islands. Sandbars and wooded islands make great stopping places as do camping, boating and picnicking areas developed by South Dakota and Nebraska. If you camp on islands, pick those with trees at least 6-8 feet tall. There are no rapids, but sunken sandbars, snags and other obstacles abound. An eddy is a sure sign of an obstacle just below the water’s surface. The Missouri is 20 feet deep or more in places. Know your paddling ability and don’t exceed it. For more info: nps.gov/mnrr.
Split Rock Creek From its source in Pipestone County, Minn., Split Rock Creek winds a scenic route through northeastern Minnehaha County before meeting the Big Sioux River east of Sioux Falls. During high water flow in the spring and after heavy summer rain, it is one of South Dakota’s best streams for white-water paddlers. If you are not an experienced white-water paddler, some stretches can be hazardous. Access points at Palisades State Park by Garretson and McHardy Park in Brandon, as well as township, county, state, and federal rights-of-way that cross the river. Sheer walls of red
Vermillion River
Lakes to Paddle Many South Dakota state parks have lakes that have easy access and are fun to paddle. These parks include Chief White Crane Recreation Area near Yankton, Lake Alvin near Harrisburg, Lake Herman State Park and Walkers Point Recreation Area near Madison, Lake Vermillion near Montrose and Newton Hills State Park near Canton. To find even more waters to paddle, visit gfp.sd.gov/paddling.
