Why go there?
The Missouri National Recreational River, stretching along the borders of Nebraska and South Dakota, preserves one of the last free-flowing sections of the Missouri River. Spanning 98 miles, it offers stunning, unspoiled landscapes of bluffs, wetlands, and forests. Visitors can enjoy a range of outdoor activities, including fishing, boating, and birdwatching. The area is rich in history, with ties to Lewis and Clark’s expedition, and it protects diverse wildlife and native plant species.
