The fabled Black Hills of South Dakota, is an oasis of pine-clad mountains on the Great Plains. The Black Hills offer everything you expect from a mountain vacation: five national parks, scenic drives, waterfalls, abundant wildlife, acclaimed recreation trails and trout fishing. A place where bison and wild horses still roam free!

Fishing :

The Black Hills offer some of the best small stream fishing in the country. The unique geology of the hills, combined with its striking scenery, and plentiful trout, create the perfect atmosphere for the fly fisher. Black Hills trout water ranges from tailwaters, freestones, spring creeks, meandering mountain streams, and includes numerous small reservoirs. Regardless of preference, there are fishing opportunities for everyone.
The Black Hills have 17 lakes and more than 1200 miles of trout streams. Finding all of the good fishing spots could take more than a week. The fishing season for most Black Hills lakes and streams runs all year long (Jan 1-Dec 31).

The largest lakes are Angostura, Deerfield, Pactola and Sheridan and Belle Fourche. Other lakes include Roubaix, Stockade, Sylvan, Horsethief, Center and Legion.
The most fished species are brown, brook, rainbow trout and largemouth bass.

Scenic Drives, Bike Rides & Walks

Bike Rides :
The premier trail within South Dakota’s state park system, the George S. Mickleson trail is a 114-mile jewel that stretches the length of the Black Hills. It follows an abandoned railroad bed, and climbs gently into jagged cliffs and pine forests. The Mickelson Trail has a crushed limestone surface and wide path. It tops out at 6,100 feet but never exceeds a 4-percent grade (making it perfect for leisure riders). Trestle bridges and railroad tunnels add to the trail’s charm. You can start your adventure at any of 14 trail heads.

Scenic Drives :
The Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway, located in the northern Black Hills, is unique because the view is always close to the visitor and always upward. The narrow canyon walls rise sharply skyward from Spearfish Creek and the highway sculpted along the canyon bottom. A forest of spruce, pine, aspen, birch, and oak covers much of the hillsides. Above these slopes, the skyline is topped with an extensive ridge of vertical walled limestone cliffs.

Hiking / Walking :
There’s great hiking all over the Black Hills. Inaugurated in 1989, the Centennial Trail stretches from Bear Butte Mountain in the north to Wind Cave National Park. It makes a good choice for a multi-day backpacking trip, or you can take it in sections. The Harney Range Trail System is another good choice for backpacking trips, offering the opportunity to make loops through the Black Hills wilderness.

Possible day hikes are numerous. If you want a quiet trail, with no annoying mountain bikes or even horses, the Flume Trail, a National Recreation Trail, follows the path of an old logging flume for 14 miles. Those after a gentler experience should look twice at the Cook Lake and Cliff Swallow trails which combine into 4.5 miles of natural interest.

Golfing :

Majestic Ponderosa Pine trees. Rushing trout filled streams. Spectacular mountain vistas. Experience this and more as you hit the links on the incredible golf courses of the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota.

From Devils Tower to Mount Rushmore, the scenery and the challenge of each of the Black Hills’ courses will inspire you.

So enjoy the awe-inspiring views and tranquil beauty of the Hills–but don’t forget your putter!

So whatever your interests, the Black Hills of South Dakota has it all.
