Realistically its a nice enough place, and if you're looking for a place to swim or boat options are few and far between in south dakota. I grew up in the northwest and have always been around nice clean clear water, so seeing the water quality here is really sad. Its very murky and smells bad, It would be nice if south dakota had boat inspections like most states and put in a effort to improve...
