- Lead Park – Brookings
This sledding park in South Dakota is so extreme that the city actually shut most of it down. The steepest part of the hill was blocked off by a fence in 2015 due to kids getting injured while sledding. However, the remaining part of the hill that is open is safe and totally legendary!

Like I said, we get creative and make our own fun. Some of the most fun sled riding in South Dakota is when you are pulled behind an ATV. The best part of this is that you can do it anywhere there is snow.
