Snake Creek Recreation Area

Snake Creek Recreation Area is a recreation area along Lake Francis Case with direct water access and natural shoreline habitat. The location offers camping, boating, and fishing opportunities within a setting shaped by the Missouri River.

This area lies in a region traveled by the Lewis and Clark expedition during their early 19th-century journey. The recreation area itself developed later as a leisure destination for local communities.

The recreation area connects visitors with South Dakota outdoor traditions through fishing, boating, and seasonal recreational activities along the Missouri River.

The area is easily accessible by car with parking available at multiple points. Visitors should bring water and sun protection, as the open landscape provides limited shade.

Located 14 miles west of Platte, this recreation area provides direct access to Lake Francis Case through its full-service marina and multiple boat ramps.
