- Custer State Park, South Dakota is a beautiful park and wildlife reserve of approximately 71,000 acres in the Black Hills. Custer State Park is known for its amazing landscapes, scenic drives, and a free roaming bison herd. The size of the bison herd varies slightly from year to year but averages approximately 1400 bison. At Custer State Park you can also see pronghorns, prairie dogs or burros.
There are 18 different hiking trails at Custer State Park from easy to strenuous. The views along all the trails are always gorgeous and a fun thing to do at the park. The Sylvan Lake shore trail is an easy to moderate loop around that can be accessed from multiple points along the lake. Sylvan Lake is the crown jewel of Custer State Park and is a fun place for hiking, fishing, boating, swimming or just enjoying the view. Another great shoreline trail is Legion Lake. The trail is an easy one-mile loop that can be accessed from the west end of the fishing dock parking lot. Legion Lake also has a swimming beach, general store, and restaurant.
Custer State Park has some stunning scenic drives. The Needles Highway is a spectacular drive through rugged granite mountains and pine forests. The highlight of the Needles Highway is the amazing needle-like formations at the top of the drive. Iron Mountain Road is a favorite in Custer State Park. This winding road offers beautiful views of Mount Rushmore and the surrounding Black Hills. On Iron Mountain Road you will experience 314 curves, 14 switchbacks, 3 pigtails and 3 one lane tunnels! The Wildlife Loop at Custer State Park brings visitors through beautiful rolling hills and grasslands on the south end of the park. The Wildlife Loop is a great place to see bison, pronghorn, burros, and other wildlife at the park. Stop in at the Bison Center to learn all about the park’s bison herd.
Custer State Park also has eight different campgrounds. We camped at Game Lodge Campground and enjoyed our visit. In 2023 a campsite with electricity was $30 per night.

Beautiful video. We are contemplating visiting up there, so your video was most helpful. Lovely views and the bison, wow. That has to be surreal being surrounded by so many of those powerful creatures. Custer State Park is a gem for sure. Thanks so much for sharing this lovely video.
Thank you! It is a beautiful state park and there are 8 campgrounds within the park. I would highly recommend it. Seeing all of the bison was just awesome. We came upon the herd 3 different times during our week at the park. It was a bit surreal.
@@blendedtravels Wow, 3 times, how awesome! Loved the view of Rushmore as you exit the tunnel, that is one of my bucket list photos to do.....Thanks.
The state park is really big and I can feel the greatness and loveliness of nature.
I love the beauty of nature. like 345

Thank you so much! Have a great weekend.
Certainly a beautiful area, but it still amazes me that some tourists think these animals are tame and want a selfie. Nature is beautiful but wild. Thanks for sharing, Anita.
I agree! I am always a bit shocked when I see someone walk right up to a bison in either Custer or Yellowstone and try to take a selfie. Unfortunately some of them have paid for it as well. There are far more attacks by bison in those parks, than bears. Have a great rest of your day!
Impressive Custer Park presentation, BT👍221
Surely looks really wonderful!
Appreciate the visit Friend, much thanks 🥰
Have a great weekend! Cheers ~
Thank you! Have a great weekend.
