PLAYGROUND

Honestly, this spot is a solid find if you’re already heading down to Midway Beach or using the boat ramp — just tuck the kids here while the adults sort out the gear. It’s accessible, which matters more than people realize when you’re juggling a stroller and a cooler. West Yankton doesn’t have a ton of options right on the water like this, so locals definitely make use of it. The beach is right there, and that combination of play space plus easy water access makes it way more useful than your average park stop.
