This area is divided into two areas located in southern South Dakota. One area is south and northeast of Hot Springs and the other is south and west of Wall. There are few developed recreation sites, but plenty of space for all kinds of recreational opportunities.
This was another excellent discovery on our recent travels of the upper midwest and both of the Dakota states. These Grasslands are located in the southwestern part of South Dakota, and we found them to be a beautiful view of prairies and chalky badlands.
This was a National grassland in South Dakota that visited a few months ago, while we were traveling and enjoying many other tourist attractions. We were able to easily find the location with our GPS device and Google maps. These Grasslands are the second largest ones and they're maintained by the U.S. Forest Service.
Great place to go camping, the wide open spaces can't be beat here. We were here in late October last year and loved every minute of our time here. The ace is peaceful and beautiful, it's full of wildlife. Go here if you have a chance and you're in the area I highly recommend it.
Plenty of room out here to roam and enjoy some peace, solitude and beautifully dark night skies. There are some hilltops in the grasslands where you can see both the Black Hills to the west and the Badlands to the northeast. Horses, cattle, burrowing owls, prairie dogs, snakes, coyotes, cactus, barbed wire, wind and dust...what's not to love?
