Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

LaFramboise Island Nature Area lies in the Missouri River just south-west of the city of Pierre, providing an easily accessible green space where visitors can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities. The island is a great place to go hiking, and there are several trails you can choose from, including the interpretive River Trail, which is also suitable for biking.

Other activities include all forms of boating (there is a public boat ramp), fishing, and wildlife watching. Bird enthusiasts are in for a treat as the island has a resident population of bald eagles who roost there in winter and spring – some parts of the island will be out-of-bounds during these times.
