Wagner blends neighborly pace with easy access to wide-open adventure, just a short drive from the Missouri River at Fort Randall Reservoir. Mornings might start with fishing or boating at the well-equipped North Point Recreation Area, drift into paddling or picnics along the Randall Creek Recreation Area, and end with sunset birdwatching at the Lake Andes National Wildlife Refuge. Day trips to Pickstown and nearby Lake Andes keep weekends full, while community events and local eateries make weeknights feel special. Within Charles Mix County, you’ll also find camping and cliff-top views at the scenic Pease Creek Recreation Area.

For a fun night out, the entertainment and dining at Fort Randall Casino & Hotel are a quick country drive away.
