Marinas & Boat Ramps in Pierre

9 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Marinas and boat ramps are the launch points and home base for anyone fishing from their own boat. Public boat ramps are often free or charge a small launch or parking fee, while full-service marinas add slips, fuel docks, bait, pump-outs and sometimes a shop or restaurant. If you trailer a boat, the ramp is where the day starts - and details like ramp condition, tide access, parking for trailers and hours matter as much as anything. Facilities and fees vary a lot from a simple concrete ramp to a large marina, so it helps to know what a location offers before you arrive. The listings here help you find ramps and marinas by city and state.

FAQ

Marinas & Boat Ramps in Pierre - common questions

How many marinas & boat ramps are there in Pierre? +
Lure Compass lists 9 listings for marinas & boat ramps in Pierre, SD.
Who has the best-rated marinas & boat ramps in Pierre? +
By Google review volume, Downs Marina is the most-reviewed marinas & boat ramps listing in Pierre (4.6★, 59 reviews). Rankings follow review count, not paid placement.
Are public boat ramps free? +
Many public boat ramps are free to use, though some charge a launch fee or require paid trailer parking, and busy ramps can fill up early on weekends. Fees and hours vary by location and managing agency - confirm before you tow your boat out.
What is the difference between a boat ramp and a marina? +
A boat ramp is a launch point for trailered boats - often just a concrete ramp and parking. A marina is a larger facility that may add slips, fuel, bait, pump-outs, repairs and a shop or restaurant. Some listings are ramps only, others full marinas, so check what each location offers.
How do I find a boat ramp or marina near me? +
Browse the ramps and marinas listed by city and state here to see nearby launch points and what facilities they offer. Because ramp condition, tide access and hours change, confirm current details with the marina or the agency that manages the ramp before your trip.
How much does a fishing guide cost in Pierre? +
Pierre guides typically run about $350-$600. Half-day trips are lower, full days higher, and rates cover the boat for one to three or four anglers rather than being charged per head, so confirm the total when you book.
What is the main fish in Lake Oahe? +
Walleye is the primary target, with landlocked chinook salmon, northern pike and smallmouth bass also available across the reservoir.
How do guides fish such a big reservoir? +
On water this size, guides rely on trolling crankbaits and bottom-bouncing spinner rigs to cover ground and locate fish along points, flats and the submerged river channel.
When is the best time to fish Pierre? +
Spring and fall produce the strongest walleye action, while summer brings chinook salmon and smallmouth into the mix on Lake Oahe.
