The Oahe Downstream Recreation Area at Pierre/Fort Pierre will be closed tomorrow (Nov. 19, 2022) and Sunday from 6am-6pm for the 30th annual Oahe Hunt.
The Oahe Hunt takes place one weekend each year and is only for hunters who require a wheelchair for mobility. This event is the only time hunting is allowed within the Oahe Downstream Recreation Area during the fall hunting seasons.
Entrance into the area is limited to participating hunters, hunt volunteers and staff, to ensure safety. The road entering the recreation area from SD Hwy 1806 will be barricaded at the Stilling Basin Bridge and staff will be stationed on the West Shore toe road off 1806 to restrict traffic. The campground #3 unit is accessible for foot traffic only. The East Shore toe road off SD Hwy 1804, will allow access to the powerhouse and east and west tailrace areas but the road will be barricaded at the bottom prohibiting any further travel west and south.
