Spring Creek Recreation Area

Notice: Effective Monday July 26, all Pierre area parks are under an open fires ban until further notice. Propane cooking devices are still permitted. The ban will be imposed for the safety of our guests and resources until the parks receive significant precipitation.

Sitting on the shores of beautiful Lake Oahe, Spring Creek is a water-lover's paradise. The lake has more than 2,000 miles of shoreline and its clear waters are ideal for boating, sailing, fishing, water skiing and diving. Campers, history buffs, mountain bikers and hikers will find new adventures in this rugged land first explored by Lewis and Clark. The recreation area offers a marina and convenience store, as well as an on-site restaurant run by the park's concessionaire.

Whether you are looking to enjoy one of the top fishing destinations in the region, a relaxing family vacation, ride the waves or just enjoy time with your family and friends for a day trip there is no better place to live your legacy than at Spring Creek on Lake Oahe.
