Horseback Riding:

Don't forget to bring your horse! We have miles of trails in the Black Hills national Forest, Buffalo gap National Grassland, the Mickelson Trail, as well as numerous private ranches in the hills and prairies. Sunrise Ranch on the outskirts of Edgemont welcomes riders and their horses to stay with them and ride from there into the Black Hills National Forest.

Hunting:

Whether you are looking for elk or antelope, whitetail deer or mule deer, bison, or even wild turkey, Edgemont is the place to come.

Wishbone Ranch, a privately owner 3,500 acre working ranch and wildlife preserve located in the Balck Hills near Edgemont, is home to Wishbone Outfitters, a group that specializes in trophy elk and bison hunts.

In addition, a large number of privately owned acres are enrolled in the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks' Walk-In Program. Hunters can stay at the campground south of town, or Rainbow Motel in town or at Sunrise Ranch north of town and hust these privately owned lands.
