 Prairie Hills & Lakes Tour

This tour is design for family and friends and explores the secret beauty of the state's northeast prairie hills and lakes region. Called the Coteau des Prairies which sits on a 200 mile plateau, numerous attractions are offered including mysterious Sica Hollow State Park, inspiring Nicollet Tower and historic Fort Sisseton.  Our route includes miles of rolling scenic roadway of lakes, prairies and wooded ravines and valleys.  We will stay at the peaceful Prairie Sky Guest and Game Ranch which sits on 2000 Incredible Friends.acres on the northern edge of the Coteau with a view of two states that gives a feeling of being able to touch the stars.  The intimate 2 bedroom cabins with sleeping loft are ideal for family and friends and why parties of 4-6 are perfect.  Our host, Bruce and Corrine Prins will provide us with ranch style hospitality and family style meals.  If you desire, other amenities like horseback riding and fishing are available for an additional charge.
