The Meridian Trails System
In March of 2019, Yankton was hit by the bomb-cyclone that affected much of Nebraska, South Dakota & Iowa. This catastrophe severely damaged the Auld-Brokaw Trail System in the city of Yankton. You can learn more about the damage to the trail system by following this link, where you will find an interactive aerial image viewer.
