In the heart of the Cedar River and Grand River National Grassland sits Lemmon — a small town with a huge personality.
This full-service community on the northern border of South Dakota has parks, campgrounds, tennis courts, a swimming pool, museum, nine-hole golf course, an art gallery, motels, restaurants and more. If you’re seeking an authentic South Dakota experience, you will find it here.
Stand before the larger-than-life sculpture and mural in Boss Cowman Square. This art installation celebrates the town’s agricultural heritage and the legendary cowboy-turned-cattle baron who gave it his name. Each July, celebrate Boss Cowman Days with a rodeo and community activities.
Lemmon is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. The area is rich in upland and big game hunting. Nearby recreation areas provide miles of shoreline with excellent fishing, hunting, and camping.
Walk on the site where history was made and one man became a legend nearly two centuries ago. The Hugh Glass Monument is located on the banks of the Grand River and Shadehill Reservoir at Hugh Glass Park. Celebrate the life of Hugh Glass and the other pioneers that contributed to the area’s rich history at the annual Hugh Glass Rendezvous.
