Oelrichs is a wide‑open prairie community where big skies, quiet roads, and a close-knit lifestyle come together along US Highways 18 and 385 near the Nebraska line. Outdoor time is a way of life here: weekends can swing from hiking and wildlife viewing at Wind Cave National Park to swimming, boating, and beach time at the Angostura Recreation Area, all within an easy drive of town. Day-to-day needs and small-town amenities are close in Hot Springs and Edgemont, while a scenic cruise north makes for a fun outing in Custer.
