Best Pumpkin Patches In South Dakota September 28, 2021 Beth Price-Williams Are there any pumpkin farms in South Dakota? While you’ll find quite a few pumpkin farms in South Dakota, including Lil Harvester’s Pumpkin Patch in Rapid City, you might also want to embark on some uniquely South Dakota fall adventures. Mount Rushmore, for example, is picture-perfect any time of the year. However, for absolutely stellar views, you’ll definitely want to plan an autumn visit. Can you think of a better way to spend an hour or two than picking apples at one of South Dakota’s apple orchards? If you’re up for a little leaf peeping, take a leisurely drive through Black Hills National Forest. Or, if you prefer to explore on foot, follow one of the hiking trails in Custer State Park. What is some fall fun in South Dakota that’s perfect for the whole family? Once you’ve visited all of the pumpkin farms in South Dakota, you might be ready to stretch those legs and go on a colorful hike. One of the most beautiful fall hikes in South Dakota is arguably the path to Spearfish Falls. You can follow either a .75-mile trail or a 1.5-mile path to the 47-foot tall waterfall. Both trails are considered easy, although you’ll have to deal with slight inclines and a few stairs on the 1.5-mile option. Regardless of which trail you take, be sure to bring your camera along to capture snapshots of the cascade framed by fall colors. That’s just a taste of the fall fun in South Dakota that awaits for the whole family. What are the best places to see the fall foliage in South Dakota? Autumn is, arguably, the most beautiful season in many parts of the United States. Drink in some of that gorgeous fall foliage in South Dakota on a fun and leisurely road trip. Kick off your road trip in Custer State Park, where you’ll drive through the park or, if you’re up for it, go on a scenic hike. Don’t forget your camera, because you’re in for some amazing views. Expect an abundance of breathtaking views along the Black Hills Parkway and on the Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway. A fall foliage road trip in South Dakota certainly wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Vanocker Canyon.
