About This Access Site
Bush's Landing is a popular public access point to Lake Oahe in Sully County, located north of Pierre. This site features a boat ramp suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats accessing the Missouri River system. The landing is one of the most heavily used access areas on Lake Oahe, making it a reliable option for recreational paddlers and boaters in the region.

**What to Know Before You Go:**
A park entrance license is required to use this access area. The boat ramp was recently improved with an extended low-water ramp and improved access road to better accommodate various water conditions. Check current conditions before your trip, as water levels on Lake Oahe can fluctuate seasonally. This is a flatwater paddling destination, making it suitable for paddlers of all skill levels.
