The Lewis and Clark Recreation Area is a South Dakota State Recreation Area in southeastern South Dakota, United States, near Yankton. The recreation area was established following the construction of Gavins Point Dam by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which created Lewis and Clark Lake, a reservoir on the Missouri River. The recreation area opened to the public in 1966.Three campgrounds are located within the recreation area, called the Yankton Section, Midway Section, and Gavins Point Section - with a total of 418 campsites, along the shores of Lewis and Clark Lake. There are 19 camper cabins. Numerous biking, hiking, equestrian, and nature trails travel along Lewis and Clark Lake and the surrounding bluffs. Several beaches and boat launching facilities can be found along the lakeshore. The area also has a disc golf course and an archery range. In 2014 zebra mussels, an aquatic invasive mussel were discovered in the lake and have infested the reservoir and the Missouri River downstream of Gavins Point Dam. The Lewis and Clark Marina and Resort, located within the recreation area, is privately operated under an agreement with Division of Parks and Recreation. Amenities include a motel, cabins, swimming pool, floating fuel dock, slip and boat rentals, and a full-service restaurant.

Overlook on the Gavins Point Nature Trail (Lewis and Clark Recreation Area, near Yankton, SD)

View of the (frozen) Missouri River from the unofficial (?) overlook on the Gavins Point Nature Trail at the Lewis and Clark Recreation Area (near Yankton, South Dakota). This overlook trail ends at a cliff with vertical drop of about 50-60 feet ... if you take one step too many, you could be overlooking the world from the great beyond. To the east is another overlook (with a shelter and a fence, not really near a cliff). Date is February 15, 2009.
