Atlatl Program

National Grasslands Visitor Center Interpretive Rangers will host an Atlatl Program once a month at the Pinnacles Designated Dispersed Camping Area on Buffalo Gap National Grassland. During this ranger-led program, participants will learn about survival on the grasslands and how an ancient hunting tool evolved. After the program, participants will have an opportunity to try using an atlatl, a spear throwing device. 

This program occurs on the second Friday of each month at 6 p.m. Program dates are: June 12, July 10, Aug. 7 and Sept. 11. 

The Pinnacles Dispersed Camping Area is located approximately 7 miles south of Wall, S.D., off Highway 240. The presentation site is near the communication towers at the intersection of Forest System Road 7170 and Forest System Road 7158.
