Fort Pierre National Grassland, located in central South Dakota, is a sprawling 115,997-acre patchwork of federal, state, private, and Indian land. With no developed campgrounds, visitors are encouraged to create their own recreational opportunities, such as hiking, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, bird-watching, dispersed camping, and wildlife photography. The grassland is known for its abundant wildlife, including Greater prairie chicken and Sharptail grouse, as well as excellent fishing in its numerous ponds. Originally settled in the 1800s under various Homestead Acts, the land was later bought by the Land Utilization Program and assigned to the USDA Forest Service for management. Today, the Fort Pierre National Grassland is a prime example of successful land management practices, with alternating crops and rotating livestock grazing resulting in productive land for both crops and wildlife. With its diverse recreational opportunities and picturesque landscapes, Fort Pierre National Grassland is a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers.Generated from the website
