State Parks

Fifty-four state parks and recreation areas showcase South Dakota's natural beauty and boundless recreational opportunities. South Dakota has plenty of room for you to play with our broad expanses of prairies, back-country mountains, spacious lakes and lush woods. There are crisp, clear lakes to fish, sail and swim, woodland trails to hike and bike, rivers to paddle and frontier forts to explore.
