Lead Area Chamber of Commerce

Lead me there... to South Dakota's Outdoor Recreation Capital - home to a major downhill ski area, southern gateway to Spearfish Canyon, direct access to Mickelson Trail, 300 miles of groomed snowmobile trails, mountain climbing, hunting, fishing and golfing. Home to historic Homestake Gold Mine and the Black Hills Mining Museum. 

Do you have a taste for muddy trails? Are you a powderhound dreaming of your own perfect snow?  How about a weekend warrior looking to make the most of that well deserved break?  We have what you are looking for. Lead is an outdoors enthusiast’s dream – come and play to your heart’s content!

We can truly boast about four seasons worth of some of the best outdoors fun anywhere. We also offer everything you need to stay and play here: comfortable lodging, great places to eat and unique botique shops. Best part of it all? We don’t mind sharing! 

Make sure to pick up some great tips on what to see and do in the area with lots of free visitor information at the Sanford Lab Homestake Visitor Center. (can't miss it - it's right next to a 1-mile "hole" in the ground!)
