🎣 Outdoor & Recreation Storage in Southeast South Dakota

Lock N' Leave It Storage · Outdoor & Recreation

Southeast South Dakota is an outdoor enthusiast’s backyard. Lewis & Clark Lake draws boaters, anglers, and campers from across the region. The Missouri River corridor is some of the best pheasant hunting in the country. Frozen ponds and lakes mean ice fishing season that stretches well into February. And a growing community of ATV and side-by-side riders need somewhere to keep their rigs when they’re not tearing up the trails.

The problem? All that gear takes up space — and if you’re storing it wrong, you’re shortening its life and setting yourself up for expensive repairs. Lock N’ Leave It Storage has locations in Tyndall, Springfield, and Freeman specifically to solve this problem for the outdoor community in southeast SD.

Boats and Watercraft Near Lewis & Clark Lake

Springfield is right in the heart of Lewis & Clark Lake country. If you’re boating on the Lake or the Missouri River, you know the season is short and the off-season is long. Winter boat storage isn’t just about convenience — it’s about protecting a significant investment from South Dakota’s freeze-thaw cycles, UV damage, and the wear that comes with leaving a boat exposed from October through May.

Our units are large enough to fit full-size boats on trailers, pontoons, and personal watercraft. Drive up, load in, lock the door, leave it. Simple.

Pheasant Hunting and Hunting Gear

South Dakota is the pheasant capital of the world, and southeast SD — with its mix of crop fields, shelter belts, and river bottoms — produces excellent hunting for both residents and out-of-state hunters. The season brings serious gear: shotguns, ammunition, hunting clothes, dog gear, blinds, and decoys.

Storing hunting gear properly between seasons means you’re not pulling out moldy waders or rusted equipment when October rolls back around. A dedicated storage unit gives you organized, dry, secure space for everything.

Ice Fishing

When the lakes freeze, the fishing gets serious. Ice fishing gear — augers, portable shelters, electronics, sleds, tip-ups, and all the cold-weather clothing it takes to stay comfortable — adds up fast. A storage unit keeps it organized, protected, and out of your garage all summer so you can find everything when the ice thickens in December.

RVs, Campers, and Trailers

If you camp at Lewis & Clark, Gavins Point, or anywhere along the river corridor, you know the off-season storage problem. RVs and campers that sit in driveways are a neighborhood headache and a weather exposure problem. Our large units in Tyndall and Springfield are built to handle full-size campers and travel trailers.

ATVs and Side-by-Sides

The ATV and UTV community in southeast South Dakota keeps growing. These machines represent real money, and keeping them in a locked, covered unit beats leaving them in the yard every time — for security, for weather protection, and for keeping them in ride-ready condition longer.

Snowmobiles and Seasonal Sports Gear

When summer gear comes out, winter gear can go in — and vice versa. Storage units are the perfect solution for seasonal equipment rotation: ski gear, snowmobile gear, water skis, wakeboards, bikes, and anything else that has its season and then needs to disappear.

Easy Access, Southeast SD Locations

Our three locations — Tyndall, Springfield, and Freeman — put secure outdoor recreation storage within easy reach of the lake, the hunting grounds, and the communities that use them. Reserve a unit today and stop fighting with your garage.
