Other things to note
The nearest boat ramp with access to the Missouri River is 0.7miles away - located at the Santee Boat Basin, managed by the Corp of Engineers conveniently situated at the end of Lindy Road (534th Avenue). Truly the closest you can be to the Santee boat basin.
There are also other boat ramps located in Niobrara (16 miles), Bazile Creek (13 miles) and Miller Creek Campground (16 miles). A Nebraska or South Dakota fishing or hunting license is required if hunting or fishing the Missouri River.
*This is a river cabin, as such expect there to be mosquitos in warm weather and the occasional bug/spider.
*The cabin is also supplied by well water. Being in the river basin, our water has significant mineral and iron deposits. Thus, there can be some discoloration and occasional sulfur odor. We do not recommend drinking it as it may not be palatable to some.
