Pierre directions

[limited out]

Can anyone tell me the fastest way to get to Pierre, SD from the Twin Cities? Should i take Hwy 212 all the way West or take 169 down to I-90? We are leaving today to fish Oahe this weekend. Thanks.

Dude, take 212. 169 to I-90 is way out of the way.

I agree, take 212, heard its been good fishing out that way, let us know how you did.

Just made the trip Memorial day weekend. Here are the directions that I got from my uncle in Pierre:

212 west past Redfield.

Turn south on 45 to Miller

On the north edge of Miller, turn west on 14 all the way into Pierre.

This turns into Euclid which is a main N/S route that goes on the west side of the capitol. After the S curve (if you don't know now, you'll know it when you get there), you'll be on Sioux, which is the main E/W route. Sioux is under construction, down to two narrow lanes west of where Euclid comes out, so it might be tricky with a boat.

There is some road construction and bad roads on some of the other routes, but this got me around all of it a couple of weeks ago. And...65 mph all the way.

Have a good trip, I hear water levels on Oahe are coming back up a little.

thanks guys. The only reason i asked is i figured the interstate might be quicker since you can fly 75 mps without a lot of stops in smaller towns. We took 212 out there last year to visit my brother-in-law and really got into the walleyes on lake oahe.

Depending on where you are leaving from in the Twin Cities area, take Highway 7 to Montevideo and then get on 212 and follow deeky's directions.
