Buffalo Ridge Resort

Property Features

Buffalo Ridge Resort is nestled in on the edge of Lake Elsie in Gary, South Dakota. Buffalo Ridge Resort & Business Center is a historic property which has been beautifully restored and is surrounded by mature oak trees, small town charm, and a rich history dating back to 1872. Buffalo Ridge Resort was once home to South Dakota’s first School for the Blind and Visually Impaired. The property still retains much of its historical appeal including a unique system of underground tunnels which were originally used to allow the students to travel from one building to another in the event of inclement weather.

The Herrick Hotel and Woodbury Hall, which were once the campus dormitories, have now been completely renovated and restored. At Buffalo Ridge Resort & Business Center, you’ll discover an amazing blend of past and present with contemporary western allure. Uniquely charming, Buffalo Ridge Resort & Business Center is perfect for business or leisure. Whether your time is spent in the historical Herrick Hotel, at the Talking Waters Campground or at the Rock Room Bar and Grill, you’ll be sure to enjoy yourself as Buffalo Ridge is constantly adapting to your wishes and needs.
