Lead Lodging & Attractions

Lead (pronounced “leed”) South Dakota is just minutes from Terry Peak Ski Area and Mystic Miner Ski Resort at Deer Mountain and provides direct access to the George S. Mickelson Trail which offers 114 miles of pristine hiking and biking trails that wind through the Black Hills. Lead has a variety of quaint restaurants and art galleries, and a half-dozen hotels provide a great central lodging location for summer sightseeing or winter sports in South Dakota.

The town of Lead has a rich mining history and an opportune future. Lead was once home to the Western Hemisphere’s oldest and deepest gold mine, and a massive “open cut” is visible from most of the city. Although the mine is no longer operational, visitors can follow the hoisting, crushing and milling process of gold ore on a Homestake Mining Operation surface tour, or stop by the Black Hills Mining Museum on Main Street. The future outlook: The National Science Foundation (NSF) has chosen the former Homestake Gold Mine as the site for the Multipurpose Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL).
