Fall in South Dakota
From the serene woodlands along the Big Sioux River to the forested hills of Sica Hollow State Park, splashes of color melt through the green landscape. As fall transforms South Dakota's mountains and prairies, the sumac-laced bluffs along the mighty Missouri River and the brilliant, aspen-dotted Spearfish Canyon are among the many special places enchanting those with eyes open to the highlights. If you and your bird dog eagerly await hunting season each year, South Dakota offers some of the best pheasant hunting in the U.S., with public hunting opportunities across the state.

However, while most days tend to be sunny and mild, precipitation — even frost and snow — can intermingle with crisp fall weather.
