Sylvan Lake
Sylvan Lake
This trout-filled, spring-fed lake is a haven for hikers, fishermen, and nature lovers.  Without doubt the most scenic lake in the Black Hills.  Nearby are picnic and camping areas, a general store, and the beautiful Sylvan Lake Lodge.  This a crowning jewel along the famous Needles Highway in Custer State Park.

Cool Clear Water...
Rainbow trout are often seen leaping for bugs in the clear, cold water of Sylvan Lake.  The lake was dammed up in 1896, and a  beautiful white wooded lodge with a gazebo extending in to the water created a paradise for high society in summers of the turn of the century.  The lodge burned down in 1933 and was replace by the current lodge overlooking the lake.
