Ardmore welcomes you with wide horizons and a deep sense of quiet in Fall River County. Buyers are drawn to its elbow room—ranch parcels, off-grid possibilities, and historic townsite lots—with easy drives to nearby services and dining in Hot Springs, Oelrichs, and Edgemont. The pace is unhurried, skies are brilliantly clear, and wildlife watching often starts right from your fenceline.
Outdoorsy weekends are a given. Explore the underground marvels and bison-dotted prairies of Wind Cave National Park, cared for by the National Park Service, via the official Wind Cave National Park site. Warm-weather days often lead to beaches, boating, and fishing at the Angostura Recreation Area, detailed on the official South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks page for Angostura Recreation Area. History and geology lovers make regular trips to The Mammoth Site in Hot Springs through The Mammoth Site’s official page, while expansive public lands for hiking, birding, and dispersed camping await on the official U.S. Forest Service page for Buffalo Gap National Grassland.
Families appreciate small-school attention. The Oelrichs School District serves the area with a close-knit K–12 campus; find calendars and programs on the Oelrichs School District site. Nearby, the Edgemont School District offers additional academic and activities options on the Edgemont School District site. County services, permits, and elections are coordinated through the Fall River County government site.
