Yankton

CULTURE + ENTERTAINMENT

When planning a 605 Sprinter Van Trip to Yankton last July, Brittany Wagner of Yankton Thrive wanted every stop to represent a different side of the town. “Some locations highlighted outdoor adventure and recreation, while others focused on local flavor, history, shopping, or entertainment,” said the director of tourism. “We also wanted places that created memorable experiences for visitors, whether that was waterfront views, unique dining experiences, or hidden gems locals love.” From all of the food and drinks, experiences, and events, check out 605’s itinerary during our quick (and entertaining) summer vacation.

THURSDAY, JULY 31

10 a.m. 605 pulled into town in our Sprinter Van, Vincent Van-Go , and arrived at Lewis & Clark Resort to check into our three bedroom, lake-side cabin. Located in the Lewis & Clark Recreation Area along the Missouri River , the relaxed getaway offers a variety of lodging, including log cabins, cottages, motel/hotel rooms, and camping. The largest option, The Lodge , is 4,000 square feet specializing in hosting larger groups and/or events. “It’s an ideal setting for everything from family vacations and reunions to weddings and group retreats—laid-back, scenic, and designed for making memories on the water,” said Wagner. There is on-site recreation available, including a new heated outdoor pool, a playground, sand volleyball, basketball, picnic shelters, and firepits. Rentals are also available to take advantage of the outdoors, like bicycles, volleyball, croquet, boche ball, lasso golf, bean bags, and more. Check out the full- service marina with fuel, boat service, and boat slips available. Powerboats, fishing boats, and pontoons make for a fun day.
