Did you know?
On a given day, 12 to 36 guides get hunters out in the field alongside their choice of The Signature Lodge’s 75 field-ready gundogs (most of which are Labrador retrievers). With thousands of acres of food plots available to roam, pheasant hunters have the chance to bag up to 20 roosters per day.
The biggest non-wingshooting use of the lodge from June through July is golf at Sutton Bay, one of top 80 private-access courses in the US. The Signature Lodge also offers corporate and individual fishing trips for walleyes, smallmouth bass and northern pike on Lake Oahe during those months. Every guest is treated to top-notch hospitality and Finley’s gourmet cuisine. His prime rib is the signature dish!
On top of the lodge activities, more adventure can be found in the surrounding area. The lodge is within driving distance of Mount Rushmore, Badlands National Park, Crazy Horse Monument, Custer State Park and Pierre, the capital of South Dakota.
Fun Fact
The Signature Lodge has evolved from a summer-only, walleye-fishing lodge with just 10 rooms to a 30,000-square-foot, year-round destination for fishing, golfing and pheasant hunting.
