About Randall Creek Recreation Area

On the Missouri just below Fort Randall Dam, the stretch where bald eagles roost each winter is a National Natural Landmark. Camp at an electric site or cabin, cast from the fishing pier, or play disc golf; cars stay out of the campgrounds in winter to leave the eagles in peace.
