| Many
travelers tend to bump into us as they cross South Dakota via Interstate
I-90. It's usually a quick meeting, but they just can't forget our
beloved Missouri River and find themselves wanting to spend a few
more hours ... a few more days enjoying our scenic beauty on the
banks of the river. There's
more to Chamberlain than the Missouri River. The river's Lake
Francis Case reservoir offers quality walleye fishing, and our
wide open spaces give pheasant hunters pleasant thoughts in the
fall.
Families
can spend hours learning about South Dakota's history and culture
in our local attractions. Or, maybe you'd like to spend some quiet
time shopping for antiques and unique items in Chamberlain and
Oacoma.
Whatever
you're looking for, you can find all your accommodations at AmericInn.
Feel free to contact us at AmericInn if you need any additional
information. We'd be glad to assist you!
