Fishing:
Lewis and Clark Lake offers more than 33,000 acres of water for fishing and water sports. The lake features 30 miles of narrow, wooded shoreline and measures 45 feet deep at Gavins Point Dam. The lake is noted for its tournament-quality small-mouth and large-mouth bass fishery in the upper reaches of the lake near Springfield, South Dakota, and Niobrara, Nebraska. This area is a winding maze of cattails and weed beds that hold large numbers of bass.
Anglers will discover other species including walleye, sauger, northern pike, white bass, perch and keeper-size channel catfish. There is also an excellent opportunity for freshwater drums and good populations of bluegill and crappie in the upper reservoir.
Fisherman can try shoreline fishing from one of the accessible fishing docks, or rent a fishing boat from the marina.
Boating:
Boaters can utilize nearby Weigand Marina to launch their boat or one of several other launch locations. Boat slips are also available at the marina and boaters are welcome to tie their boats up to the shoreline , but are warned of unexpected storms that may quickly form and cause damage to their vessels on the unprotected shoreline. Safety patrol will be operating on the lake. Be sure your boat is properly numbered and has all required safety equipment and lighting for your size of boat. Be familiar with different buoys and what they indicate. Owners of motorboats propelled by a motor of more than 6 HP may not allow youths under 12 years of age to operate the boat unless accompanied by a person at least 18 years old.
Boat operators, when operating at greater than no-wake speed, are required to ensure that each child on board under seven years of age is wearing a Coast Guard approved life jacket unless the child is within a cabin or below deck.
Hunting:
The area has excellent waterfowl hunting, in addition to pheasant and turkey populations. Big game hunters will find an excellent white-tailed deer population around the area.

The property is beautiful and the amount of room in the home is amazing. We had a great time and really enjoyed the location. The home owner was very attentive to a small issue that developed, and we still had a great time.
This property was perfect for our family getaway. The house had enough bedrooms for everyone and we could spread out. The yard was perfect for playing yard games and the beach was close.
We had a great stay at this property. The downstairs kitchen was really large and accommodated a large group comfortably. Communication from the property manager was excellent and the location is awesome!
The home was wonderful, the view from the deck and living area was amazing.! The house had everything we possibly needed and the little beach was perfect for our family to come and go from the house as needed. We loved our stay from the 3 year old to the 63 year old!
Great location and tons of space for family! We had age ranges from 2 to 60 and we all enjoyed our time. Walkable beach was great for kiddos and the marina was close for boats!
Everything went smooth and the house is great for large families like ours. Big yard and beach access was a lot of fun. Thank you!

Clean, spacious, relaxing
The perfect cap on our summer. Nicely stocked kitchen, lovely firepit, and plenty of bedrooms. Stargazing on the back deck was a favorite nighttime activity for all of us! We would absolutely stay here again.
This location / house worked well for our large family group. I have give this property info to another family for them to book a stay. Yes, it was that good !!

Thank you for your review. We're happy our house worked well for your family and appreciate you sharing our listing with others. Hope to host you again soon!
We rented this place to enjoy Thanksgiving weekend with my husband’s family! Plenty of room, both kitchens are large and well stocked! I wish it would have been warmer outside to enjoy the outdoors because the location is fantastic! The owner is responsive and helpful. We had a small issue with the furnace/thermastat. We would definitely stay here again!
Had a great time catching up, laughing, eating and playing pinnacle! The weather had gotten cold so when we couldn’t figure out the HVAC the owner responded very quickly and was able to keep us warm!
We thoroughly loved the location, the roominess and the amenities. The linen were clean and super soft. Great job for the laundress. There were many dead small insects in the dinining room windows and streaks that weren’t ours. The flowers were a delight and really enjoyed the deck and firepit.
Nice property with great views. Property manager was easy to work with and very responsive. Could use some updating inside. Living room furniture was old and stained. Kitchen sink enamel was chipped. Beds were not real comfortable.
This house fit our family’s needs for 10 adults and 8 kids. The checkin and out process was easy and everything was ready when we arrived. There were a few dark hairs in the bathroom when we got there, which no one in our group has, but nothing horrible. Everything else was clean. The beds do need to be updated. Most adults complained of how well they slept because the mattresses were so soft. The one bedroom with a set of bunk beds should also be listed that it’s a futon bed, which I had to sleep on but it was the most uncomfortable bed I’ve slept on in a long time. The 2nd night I slept on the floor which was better. However, overall, that’s the worst thing I have to say. We loved the waterfront down below the property and the large grass area to play on. We also loved the kitchen on the main floor and having another full kitchen in the basement. Tons of fridge and freezer space, and we loved all the outdoor seating for meals.
We stayed 4 nights at this property and everything was as described. The home is nice, the back yard is great, the beach was a lot of fun. One thing that would make it better is a dock to attach your boat to. The dock was off limits. Getting to the beach is not for the faint at heart but once there it’s fun. One thing to inform travelers is to bring your own seasonings, of any kind, including salt and pepper, vanilla, KLEENEX, … we have stayed at many VRBOs and there are usually Kleenex in the house. We had to use toilet paper and I felt Kleenex should have been included in the nightly fee. None of this would stop us from renting again. Many memories made and weather was perfect!
The towels in the master look and feel like Motel 6 towels. If someone is willing to pay $500+ a night, they deserve decent towels. There were 5 garbage bags for 19 ppl for 3 days! Why would you skimp on that? A deck bench had apparently been painted lately and 3 different ppl ruined tops or swim suits leaning back on it. The path to the beach is treacherous, especially carrying coolers and items. Not very safe. I did not receive the info telling me what items I’d need to bring prior to me approval. Therefore we needed to return to Yankton for like salt & pepper. We’d just stayed at a VRBO two weeks ago in Harpers Ferry and it was so exceptionally well stocked I didn’t think to bring items on your list. Nothing wrong with me supplying my own, I just didn’t receive the list in advance. In spit of the ants and hundreds of flies, we had a wonderful time with our family as we always do. Our neighbors were very pleasant. Deck was awesome and fire pit was fabulous. A seat at the pit had a leg that was about to break also.
