The Oyate Trail

Trail Map

Plan your trip across South Dakota here.


The Oyate Trail of Southern South Dakota is located right where you'd expect it--along the very southernmost edge of our state. 
 From the east, The Oyate Trail travels through farmland and corn fields, across prairies and the Mighty Missouri River, and into the American West's rangeland.  Then it skirts south of the Badlands before ending at the southern foothills of the famous Black Hills. 
This is the perfect route--marked in red above--if you'd like to get off the beaten track, step back from the fast lane, and enjoy yourself.
