James RiverThe James River, a typical prairie stream, has been noted as the longest unnavigable
river in the world. For tunately, this distinction doesn’t apply to paddlers who travel theriver in spring and early summer. There are a number of access points near US and SDHighways.
Split Rock CreekSplit Rock Creek winds a scenic route through nor theastern Minnehaha County before
meeting the Big Sioux River east of Sioux Falls. During high water flow in spring and afterheavy summer rain, it is one of South Dakota’s best streams for white-water paddlers.The stream drops 130 feet in 8 miles between the SD Hwy 11 access west of Garretsonthrough Palisades State Park to the SD Hwy 11 access nor th of Corson. Access can befound at Palisades State Park as well as McHardy Park in Brandon. The sheer walls ofred quar tzite that line por tions of the creek provide a scenic trip for paddlers.
Vermillion RiverGenerally, this scenic river can be paddled from spring to fall from Centerville south to
the Missouri River. Launching access may be found at rights-of-way that cross the river.Late summer and fall canoeing is best from the road crossing east of Wakonda to theMissouri River. Colorful fall foliage is especially showy from Vermillion southward.

Forming much of the border between SouthDakota and Nebraska, it is also par t of the nation’s Wild and ScenicRiver system. Congress added the 59-mile reach between GavinsPoint Dam and Ponca State Park in 1978 and the 39-mile reach,which includes the lower 20 miles of the Niobrara River and thelower eight miles of Verdigre Creek, between Ft. Randall Dam andRunning Water in 1991.
In the eastern reach the "Big Muddy" is vast, spectacular andunique, flowing fast past chalk bluffs, some as high as 100 feet.The river valley is as wide as two miles in some places, a testamentto the twists and turns the river has taken over the last severalthousand years.

Stop on any country road in Southeast South Dakota and you’llbe stopping in a hunter’s paradise. South Dakota’s state bird, theChinese Ringnecked Pheasant, thrives in the excellent habitatprovided by the South Dakota landscape.
Thousands of hunters descend upon the Southeast Region of thestate in the fall for their chance at the wily pheasant. Hotels andrestaurants gear up for the season with special menus and friendlypeople to make your stay enjoyable.
Hunting is a year-round spor t in southeast South Dakota.Though pheasant and deer are the most popular, hunters will finda wide variety of abundant game.
PheasantTraditional season: Mid-Oct. to early Jan. Season Opens Oct. 17,
2015. Preserve season: Sept. through March.Range and Habitat: Although pheasants are found statewide, the
main pheasant range encompasses the eastern two-thirds of thestate. Pheasants prefer agricultural fields, wooded draws, treestrips, wetlands and set-aside acres. Most of South Dakota isprivately owned and permission is required to hunt, but public landssuch as Game Production Areas and Walk-In Areas offer choicehabitat for pheasants. Early in the season, pheasants are scatteredin small flocks, but winter’s fury pushes birds into heavy cover andconcentrates them. Tree strips, cattail sloughs and dense weedpatches hold pheasants this time of year. Search for small, out-of-the-way pockets that may have escaped the hunting pressure oflarge groups. Small sloughs, plum thickets or even fence line vege-tation hold pheasants. Prepare for weather. Fall weather conditionsrange from 70 degrees to snow and below-zero wind chills.
East River DeerTraditional Season: Firearm, mid-late Nov. thru early Dec.
Archery, late Sept. thru mid-Jan.Range and Habitat: Crops such as corn, oats, wheat, sunflowers
and soybeans attract the whitetail deer population. Mule deerhunting is limited to counties bordering the Missouri River. Rollingpastures, tree strips, river bottoms and cattail sloughs provideescape cover for the deer.
Licenses are issued through an application process.
DucksTraditional Season: Late Sept. to Dec.Range and Habitat: More than 15 million ducks migrate annually through South Dakota. They include mallards, gadwall,
pintails and teal. Along the Missouri River, the migration peaks inmid-Nov. with 600,000 ducks, primarily mallards.
GeeseTraditional Season: Sept. to Dec.Range and Habitat: The Missouri River corridor is the main route
for more than 400,000 migrating Canada geese, and easternSouth Dakota attracts 350,000 snow- and blue-geese migrants.
Prairie TurkeyTraditional Season: Spring firearm and archery, mid-April to mid-
May. Fall prairie turkey, early Oct. through Jan.Range and Habitat: Turkeys prefer the woods and brushy hillsides
of rivers, as well as tree belts.Licenses are issued through an application process.
