Attractions/Area Links

Hugg-Inn is located just outside of the small town of Geddes in historic Charles Mix County, South Dakota. No matter your interest, we're centrally located to many area attractions.

Lake Francis Case

Hugg-Inn is within minutes of multiple Lewis and Clark Region Parks on the very popular lower Lake Francis Case. Lake Francis Case is the reservoir formed when the Ft. Randall Dam was constructed in the 1950's. If you're fond of camping, fishing & ice fishing, swimming, boating, water-skiing or any water sport, Hugg-Inn and the upper Lewis and Clark Region Parks on the lake prove to be a great combination.

As you can see below on the interactive map, Hugg-Inn is definitely at the center of it all. Move your mouse over any of the flashing stars to see the park's name. Click on it or any of the handy text links to the right to go to that park's website.

Got a boat? Make sure to check out all the "West River" rec. areas just across the lake!
