La Framboise Island

Score4.1

Small river island on the Missouri River offering river vistas, sandbars, cottonwoods and seasonal birdlife — great for intimate landscapes, waterscapes and wildlife close to Pierre. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm side lighting and reflections; spring and fall for migrating birds and color. Accessible via LaFramboise Island Trail with limited parking at the trailhead; no entry fee. Check river levels—high water can restrict access. Expect ticks and mosquitoes in warmer months.
