Map of Wall

Welcome to Wall

Watching over the intriguing buttes of Badlands National Park is Wall, South Dakota. Located 8 miles north of the Pinnacles Entrance Station, the Window to the West opens to reveal our unique prairie vistas, unbelievable formations and austere scenery that dominates the park’s 240,000 acres.

“The Wall” standing between the great upper prairie flats and gentle grassy hills, is a rugged strip of tinted spires, ridges, and twisted gullies that ranges from a half mile to three miles wide and is over nine miles long. It is this series of formations that gave the town of Wall its name.

A very progressive community, Wall boasts of state of the art facilities, outstanding customer service providers, an excellent health services clinic, a newer K-12 educational facility, and a variety of community organizations. The Wall Community Center provides the community with a grand hall and meeting rooms for conferences, seminars, dances, is the home of American Legion Post #246, as well as housing the City and Chamber of Commerce offices.

Wall is also the home of the world famous Wall Drug Store, established in 1931. With their $3 million art collection, 5 cent coffee, ‘free ice water”, and the city’s ability to accommodate over 2,000 guests nightly, Wall Drug is a must-see for visitors passing through on SD Interstate 90. To think it all started with a glass of free ice water!
