Summerset
is located in Meade County in the western portion of South Dakota. It is one of the newest cities in the state, being the first to incorporate since 1985. Summerset is located west of Interstate 90, between the towns of Blackhawk and Piedmont, about 10 miles north of Rapid City. The city of Summerset is also considered an ideal example of urban sprawl, with many subdivisions and master planned communities found in or near the town. Summerset's population is approximately 700, but it is one of the fastest growing cities in the state. Recreational activities in the area include mountain biking, rock hounding, hiking along miles of abandoned fire trails, logging roads and old railroad grades, golf, fishing, horseback riding and more. Summerset is also just a short drive to Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park. Other attractions in the area include the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame, the Black Hills National Cemetery, Fort Meade Recreation Area and National Back Country Byway and the Fort Meade Calvary Museum. Summerset is host to several special events throughout the year, including Summerfest and a special 4th of July Celebration and Fireworks.

Summerset Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Southwestern South Dakota has weather affected by a continental climatic pattern, which results in hot summers and cold winters. The Black Hills region has a more moderate climate than the surrounding prairie. Clouds, approaching from the west, must reach higher altitudes to pass over the Hills. The cool temperatures of the higher altitudes cause the clouds to lose their moisture as they pass over the Hills. Due to this rain shadow effect, annual precipitation in the Hills is much more than the prairie to the east. Temperatures in the Hills are usually about 5 degrees warmer in the winter than in the plains, and 6 degrees cooler in the summertime. The southern Hills have a slightly warmer climate and is drier than the northern Hills.
