Activities
Adventure is right outside your door!
One of the best things about staying at Midway Gulch is what's waiting just steps away.
Lewis and Clark State Recreation Area sits right across the highway. Lewis and Clark Lake, a reservoir of the Missouri River, is practically a stone's throw away. Lake Yankton sits peacefully on the east side of the dam, a short drive away.
Whether you're the type to be on the water by sunrise or perfectly happy to find a shady spot and cast a line all afternoon, there's something here for every kind of outdoor enthusiast.
Get Inspired!
Your home base for outdoor adventure, Lewis and Clark State Recreation Area offers more activities than most guests can fit into a single stay — which is exactly why so many of them come back.
In addition to camping, here are a few activities people enjoy just across the road:
Bike Trails
Enjoy over 6 miles of paved bike paths - much of it waterfront - for walking, running, and biking
Fishing
Catch walleye, perch, paddlefish, carp, pike, and more in Lewis and Clark Lake, the Missouri River, or Lake Yankton.
Swimming
Choose from a variety of swimming beaches where you can cool off in the water or hang on the sand.
Hiking
Hike with epic views of the Missouri River! Choose a casual 1.2 mile recreational trail or a challenging 4.1 mile multi-use trail.
Boating
Not only does Lewis and Clark Lake welcome boaters, but SAILBOATS can even stretch their legs here!
Playing
Playsets, sports courts, and more are scattered throughout the large state recreation area.
Disc Golfing
