Campsites Reopening



    SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Several South Dakota camping areas are
reopening as the flooded Missouri River continues to recede.
     State Park Director Doug Hofer says select campsites at Farm
Island Recreation Area near Pierre and Platte Creek Recreation Area
near Platte were available for camping starting Wednesday.
     The Game, Fish and Parks Department says 20 campsites are being
reopened Friday at the Oahe Downstream Recreation Area near Fort Pierre.
     On Monday, officials will rescind no-boating zones on Lake
Sharpe below the Oahe Dam and on the West Shore Ramp area on Lake
Oahe.
