Southeast South Dakota is where it all began.  Yankton was the first territorial capital of the Dakotas.  Every landmark has a story to tell, from the quartzite cliffs of Palisades State Park to the falls of the Big Sioux River to the picturesque bluffs of the "Wild and Scenic" Missouri National Recreational River.  Peaceful scenes of canoes on a lazy river to shady campsites and woodland trails will greet you.  The region is an outdoor playground your whole family will enjoy.  Threshing bees to colorful ethnic festivals capture the spirit of the people.  Lewis & Clark's journals tell of their exploration of this region with new adventure at every turn.  Make your own adventure in Southeast South Dakota.
