Did you know that South Dakota has its own Gettysburg? It’s not quite as well known as its more easterly neighbor, but it’s definitely worth a visit. And, you’ll find the West Whitlock Recreation Area nearby. Check out the replica of an earthen Arikara lodge and you’ll be seeing similar scenery to what Lewis and Clark witnessed on their infamous expedition. These crazy accommodations were constructed out of cottonwood logs, willow branches, and grass, and up to 20 people could live in them. Unfortunately, you’ll have to settle for camping cabins and campsites (it’s hardly a bad trade off). You can also chill out on the beach, cruise around in your boat, go fishing, or frolic around on the playground.
