Description
This 4.51-acre property is located just outside Waubay in Day County, South Dakota. Positioned between the towns of Webster and Summit, the tract sits in the center of the Glacial Lakes region, an area recognized for its diverse outdoor recreation opportunities. With direct frontage on U.S. Highway 12 and convenient access to Interstate 29, the land combines visibility, accessibility, and usable space in a setting that supports both private use and potential business development.
The parcel is situated near the shoreline of Blue Dog Lake, one of the region’s well-known fishing destinations. Blue Dog Lake is noted for its populations of walleye and perch, and public access points are nearby. From the property, partial views of the lake can be seen, reinforcing the strong connection between this acreage and the area’s recreational character. With its location near a major lake and other outdoor attractions, the tract is well positioned for uses tied to recreation.
The lot provides ample space for construction. Owners may consider a personal build such as a residence or seasonal cabin, while the property’s location also lends itself to other potential uses. Storage facilities for boats, campers, and ice shacks could serve the steady stream of lake users throughout the year. Small-scale businesses that support outdoor traffic may also find value in the combination of highway frontage and proximity to popular recreation areas.
The Glacial Lakes region is a draw for visitors across all seasons. In addition to fishing and boating, the area offers waterfowl and whitetail deer hunting, camping, and ice fishing during the winter months. The property sits within a landscape where agriculture, lakes, and wildlife areas intersect. This makes it appealing not only for recreational use but also for those looking to establish a presence in an active corridor of northeast South Dakota.
Waubay National Wildlife Refuge is located only minutes away, providing thousands of acres of protected habitat that supports migratory birds, upland game, and deer. This refuge enhances the overall recreational setting, drawing hunters, birdwatchers, and outdoor visitors. The property’s location within this broader landscape allows owners to be positioned near both public and private opportunities for hunting and other outdoor pursuits.
The nearby community of Webster serves as the local hub with a full range of services including groceries, fuel, dining, and healthcare. Summit and Interstate 29 are within easy reach to the east, providing a direct route to regional markets and additional services. This access ensures the property is not isolated while still being firmly set within the rural and recreational heart of Day County.
This property offers a balanced set of attributes: a manageable acreage size, strong transportation access, proximity to well-known lakes and wildlife areas, and a location in one of South Dakota’s most recognized recreational regions. Whether viewed as a site for personal use, a recreational property investment, or a location for supporting services tied to outdoor activity, the tract provides a versatile ownership opportunity in Day County.
