Because of the low water level on Lake Oahe, the boat ramp at Chantier Creek Lakeside Use Area, located 15 miles northwest of the Oahe Dam off SD Highway 1806, has been closed (Oct. 6, 2021).
The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Department says the dock has been removed from service. Signs are also posted on direction signs along SD Hwy 1806 to alert boaters traveling to the area. Boaters wanting to access this portion of the reservoir are still able to launch from West Shore Lakeside Use Area, East Shore Lakeside Use Area or Spring Creek and Cow Creek Recreation Area boat ramps– all located north of Pierre and Fort Pierre.
Additional updates will be posted to the Oahe Downstream Recreation Area Facebook page.
