The old ferry boat landing on the South Dakota side, just downstream from the bridge, has a very unsatisfactory access and is not recommended. About 0.2 miles downstream from this former landing is the Running Water Boat Launch. It has a pit toilet and primitive camping only is allowed. To drive to this boat ramp, take the paved road to the community of Running Water from South Dakota Highway 37 about 1/2 mile north of the Standing Bear Bridge. Turn left at the stop sign at the bottom of this hill. Go about 0.2 mile and turn right toward the river, following the unpaved road to the boat ramp.
