Huron

Huron may be a small town surrounded by wide open grasslands, but it has larger-than-life attractions. Along Highway 14, don’t miss the World’s Largest Pheasant, a 28-foot, 22-ton statue that alludes to the area’s excellent pheasant hunting.

The 190-acre South Dakota State Fairgrounds hosts the annual South Dakota State Fair, livestock and equestrian events at the Dakota Events CompleX (DEX), and car races at the Dakota State Fair Speedway. Meanwhile, Splash Central Waterpark boasts water slides, pools, a lazy river and a water coaster for all ages to get a thrill.

For slower-paced pleasures, go for a stroll or bring a picnic to Memorial Park on the James River or Ravine Park on Ravine Park Lake.
