LOCATED  in  the heart of the Grand River and Cedar River National Grasslands,  just a stone’s throw from the North Dakota border—along South Dakota’s Dream Road (US Highway12 —Yellowstone Trail) is Lemmon, South Dakota.  The area is rich in the history and culture of “taming the plains.” Major routes like US 12, SD 73, I-94 and I-90 make Lemmon easily accessible. Even better, fly in to Lemmon’s municipal airport--4,500 feet paved and lighted runway.

Lemmon is centrally located for visits to both the Black Hills and Badlands of South Dakota and the Theodore Roosevelt National Park of North Dakota. So, spend a little time in Lemmon, or even better, make it your destination. Lemmon is truly an “all-season” kind of place, where there’s a never-ending variety of things to do and see.
