If there is anything to do along the Missouri National Recreational River it is just about anything you can image in the water. Power boating, jet skiing, sailing, fishing, canoeing and kayaking are all popular activities. A visit to Lewis and Clark Lake offers swimming in the calm waters behind Gavins Point Dam and divides the two units of the national park. Eight state parks, five in South Dakota and three in Nebraska, as well as an excellent Army Corps of Engineering facility complete the area and offer plenty of land-based exploration.

The Missouri National Recreational River is located on the border between Nebraska and South Dakota. The designation was first applied in 1978 to a 59-mile section of the Missouri River between Gavins Point Dam and Ponca State Park. In 1991, an additional 39-mile section between Fort Randall Dam and Niobrara, Nebraska was added to the designation. These two stretches of the Missouri River are the only parts of the river between Montana and the mouth of the Missouri that remain undammed or unchannelized.
