Call Glacial Lakes & Prairies Tourism at 1-800-244-8860 for your FREE Birding Trail brochure. Map & Checklist Courtesy of SD Tourism We Offer A Few General Birding Trail Tips: Roads Be careful and slow down when driving on gravel roads, especially in wet or snowy conditions. A few of the trail’s many gravel roads may be impassable when muddy or snow-covered. Check with local contacts if in doubt. Less -traveled gravel roads provide great birding. Vehicle Trails Many of the trail’s state game production areas (GPAs) and federal wildlife production areas (WPAs) have rough roads. It is recommended you walk rather than attempt to drive on these dirt roads. Please respect “No vehicles beyond this point” signs. Multiple Use Although northeastern South Dakota has an abundance of public land, be aware of and considerate of others. Site contacts can provide specific information about hunting or other activities at locations you plan to visit. Weather can change quickly in South Dakota. Be prepared with outerwear suitable to the season. Plan to include insect repellent for summer birding. Parks An entrance license is required at all state parks and state recreation areas. All offer picnic areas and toilets. All except Sica Hollow offer camping. Most offer comfort stations with running water. Don’t Forget to watch for good places to pull over and bird as you drive between the trail hot spots. There are many such places. Set the brake before you exit your car. glacial lakes & prairies region 67  http://www.travelsd.com
