Tucked into the steep folds of the Northern Black Hills, you’ll find the mountain town of Lead (pronounced Leed) surrounded by beautiful ponderosa pine forests and magnificent mountain meadows. This quaint little town is a hidden gem. It’s the perfect mix of fascinating history, outdoor recreation, delicious dining, shopping, arts and entertainment. HEART OF ADVENTURE Step off the beaten path in this outdoor playground. You can easily access the George S. Mickelson Trail from three trailheads in town. Find prime golfing, mountain biking and hunting just minutes from downtown. In the winter, head to Terry Peak Ski Resort where 7,000-foot peaks, sloping ski runs and fresh mountain air await you. LIVING HISTORY Spend time at the town’s historical institutions that pay homage to Lead’s glory days. Explore exhibits and activities at the Black Hills Mining Museum for an authentic experience of the Homestake Mine and how it evolved over its 126 years of operation. At the Sanford Lab Homestake Visitor Center, learn about the deepest and most productive gold mine in the Western Hemisphere that now hosts Nobel Prize-winning science.
