South Dakota Highway 244 (SD 244) is a short state highway located entirely within Pennington County, South Dakota which provides access to Mount Rushmore.

The entire route is part of the Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway.

It heads to the east, winding through the forest where it passes Summit Peak.

Near Old Baldy Mountain, the route enters the Mount Rushmore National Monument area.

The switch to Highway 244 occurred in 1975, with the signs being concurrently posted until January 1, 1977.
