Ghost Town Okaton South Dakota in BW

Four guys from the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul, went to the South Dakota badlands for an early spring adventure. On our way out to the Bad Lands of South Dakota, Barry convinced us to stop off at Okaton, SD which is a ghost town.

Barry did the research ahead of time to see where the ghost towns will be in a 50 mile radius of our planned destinations.

Barry enjoyed this place a ton. I must say It was fascinating.

Okaton, South Dakota, is a small, abandoned ghost town located along U.S. Highway 14 in Jones County. Once a thriving railroad stop in the early 20th century, the town slowly declined as rail travel diminished and agriculture became less sustainable in the area. Today, Okaton is a fascinating roadside attraction for travelers seeking a glimpse into the past.

The town features a collection of weathered, decaying buildings, including an old general store, a schoolhouse, abandoned homes, and rusting farm equipment scattered across the landscape. Faded signs and peeling paint give the town an eerie, time-frozen atmosphere.

Color landscape photo of the inside of a large abandoned building. It is constructed of wood and there's light seen coming through cracks and knotholes in the planks. It's is fairly dark in side the building but there are three windowless window frames on the left and two on the right. A large door frame is seen in front. Outside of the door is some kind of machine with a large iron gear. A barren valley and distant mountains are seen through the door and windows. A ribbon of road is also seen through the door winding off toward the distant mountains. The inside of the building is empty except of a large flat box on the wood plank floor in the foreground and in front of a silhouette of a cylindrical object nearest the camera.

Yup, Hazen, Nevada, is a happening place! About the only thing that has happened there was the last lynching in Nevada of ruffian, Red Wood, in 1905. A mob hung him from a telegraph pole. The opening sequence of the Clint Eastwood film, Pink Cadillac, was filmed in Hazen in 1988. And in 2022 a conflagration when thousands of old salvaged creosote treated railroad ties burst into flames. Wow, that was a nasty smokey fire!

A color landscape photo of a lone store front / gas station on an empty highway. The highway is on the left and enters center frame and turns left out of the frame. A green highway sign in the distance points to two crossroads. On the right is a fairly large green with red trim two story building. A red with white lettered sign above the covered gas pump island (with two white pumps) says, across the top "Hazen." Then vertically down, "Market." And then horizontal across the bottom, "Grocery." No cars are in sight and the old building has been closed for many years.

A color landscape photo that shows several single story dilapidated buildings on the left. They are painted red and have grey roofs. A couple of telephone or old telegraph poles. And a couple of old broken down vehicles to the right of the buildings. A short dirt road curves from bottom center toward the right and then at center frame to the left ending where the old cars are parked. On the left in the foreground is a fairly large sign, perhaps painted on a 4x8 foot piece of plywood, that says, "It's Happening In Hazen." A small mountain is seen in the distance on the right with a sagebrush covered plain in the middle ground. The sky is cloudy and rainy looking.
