The recreation area is 60 acres (24 ha) and lies directly below Gavins Point Dam and Lewis and Clark Lake and is adjacent to Lake Yankton.

The area is open for year-round recreation including camping, swimming, fishing, hiking and boating.

The area is popular for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing on Lake Yankton and the Missouri River.

In 2001 legislation transferred management of the recreation area from USACE to the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks as a part of the Lewis & Clark Recreation Area.
