Escape to Harmony Hills Ranch, the Midwestern getaway of your dreams.

(long-time United Country strategic parter), Outstanding American Conservationist Award by Pheasants Forever, Conservation Tree Care Award, Wildlife Habitat Conservation Award, and Land & Wildlife Stewardship Award. Harmony Hills Ranch harbors a variety of wildlife habitat, including 12 abundant wetlands, thousands of trees ranging from nine to 90 years old, including Ash, Oak, Cedar, Pine, Spruce, Russian Olive, Box Elder, Apple and Lilac trees. Hunting and recreational opportunities include a wealth of waterfowl, trophy white tail deer, wild turkey, pheasants and other upland game birds, and an abundance of fishing.

Located only two miles south of the 2,000 acre Lake Sinai, which is one of the deepest and best walleye lakes in South Dakota, this area naturally attracts thousands of ducks and geese flocking in season.
