A launching dock was developed in 1994 at the Nebraska tailwaters and there is a second one along the training dike in South Dakota. Both require day use boat stickers. Stickers are good at any boat launching dock on the Corps of Engineers system on the Missouri River. Thanks to an improved fish cleaning station in 1994, fish waste is being placed in a septic tank instead of in garbage cans as in the past. Golden Access Passports are free at the center for persons with documented proof of a permanent disability.
Passports entitle holders to half-price camping fees and launching fees.
Boat passes are also half price with the Golden Age card. In case of severe weather Corps staff will advise visitors to head to concrete block buildings throughout the park. If the sky looks threatening, tune into local radio stations for the latest weather update. Staff will also alert campers and visitors should the need to take cover arises.
