South Dakota Heartland at a Glance
The mighty waters of the Missouri
River are the dominating feature of the South Dakota Heartland. The river
is known for its plentiful supply of walleye, attracting anglers eager to embark
on their own fishing trips or take a guided charter. A bounty of state recreation
areas play host to activities that include camping, mountain biking, swimming,
boating and wildlife observation. Situated on the Missouri River in central South
Dakota, the capital city of Pierre
boasts an enjoyable blend of history and recreation. The 115-acre (47-ha) grounds
at the city's State
Capitol Complex are close to several monuments and memorials of interest.
Stay at Pierre's comfortable hotel accommodations or, for a more rustic experience,
one of the area's guest ranches or hunting lodges. Fans of the film Dances with
Wolves relish a trip to Triple
U Buffalo Ranch in Fort
Pierre, a 60,000-acre (24,280-ha) working buffalo ranch used in the filming
of the 1990 Oscar-winning movie.
