Things to do in Pierre
Pierre is the capital of South Dakota and one of the smallest state capitals in the country, set on the bluffs of the Missouri River near the geographic center of the state. State government is the largest employer, and legislators, lobbyists and agency staff make up much of the business travel. The surrounding region is famous among sportsmen: central South Dakota offers some of the best pheasant hunting in the country, and Lake Oahe, the massive reservoir behind Oahe Dam just north of town, is known for walleye fishing.
