Hunting & Fishing

South Dakota is no stranger to hunting and fishing. In fact, Fort Pierre, specifically, is a prime location for pheasant and grouse hunting. Hunters across the state and visitors from out of state can be found enjoying our #FortPierreLife in the fall and early winter exploring our public lands from small and large game. 

Fort Pierre is a destination for all outdoorsmen. On the water is where you can especially find fishermen.
The nice thing about life on the Missouri is that fishing never stops. Our public docks are open all year around for folks interested in getting on the water, fishing straight from the dock, or on the ice in the middle of winter. 

All public access information can be found on the South Dakota Game Fish and Parks Department website. There website also has information on their regulations, permits, tags, methods and limits.
