South Dakota Highway 28 (SD 28) is a state route located in east-central South Dakota. It begins at U.S. Highway 281 (US 281) west of Hitchcock, and runs easterly to the Minnesota border east of Astoria, becoming Minnesota State Highway 271. It is just under 107 miles (172 km) in length.
SD 28 begins at intersection with US 281 in rural southern Spink County and heads east as a two-lane road through plains. About five miles (8.0 km) east of its western terminus, the route traverses the northern outskirts of Hitchcock. Approximately six miles (9.7 km) east of that town, the highway crosses the James River. SD 28 then continues easterly to an intersection with SD 37 and a crossing over Foster Creek. Roughly 10 miles (16 km) east of Foster Creek, the road leaves the Spink County and enters Clark County.
East of the county line, the route passes just south of the unincorporated community of Carpenter. Approximately 14 miles (23 km) east of Carpenter, the route passes south of Willow Lake and through the city of the same name. In the eastern portion of the city of Willow Lake, the highway crosses a branch of the BNSF Railway. About four miles (6.4 km) east of Willow Lake, the route meets SD 25 and turns south to join it for a three-mile-long (4.8 km) concurrency before forking off to the east. Roughly three miles (4.8 km) east of SD 25, the highway leaves Clark County and enters Hamlin County.
