Golf in Elk Point

Elk Point is the Union County seat on the Missouri River bluffs near the Iowa and Nebraska borders. The Sergeant Floyd monument nearby commemorates the only member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition to die during the journey, buried on a bluff above the Missouri in August 1804. Union County's position at the tri-state corner gives Elk Point economic ties to Iowa's Sioux City metro, and the Missouri River bluffs provide dramatic scenery in a corner of the state that most tourists bypass on their way to the Black Hills. Union County's agricultural productivity supports a farming economy supplemented by the commercial ties to Sioux City's broader metropolitan market across the Iowa border.
