Plan to make Custer State Park a part of your South Dakota road trip itinerary, and here we will tell you how to do it. Please don’t make the same mistake that we did. We thought all there was to do in the area was Mount Rushmore. The first time I went to Mount Rushmore I had no idea about Custer State Park. Both are in the Black Hills National Forest.

It is just south of Mount Rushmore - you can even see parts of Mount Rushmore from Custer State Park. And this jewel is not out in the middle of nowhere. So why are we talking about Custer State Park? Because this place is phenomenal – lake, check hikes, check wildlife, check beautiful vistas, check. No, today’s post is all about Custer State Park.Īnd yes, Custer State Park has majestic sights, but the rocks have been carved to allow cars to get through, not to highlight the facial features of a forebearer. You want to see the majestic sights and the rocks that were carved by human hands.īut we’re not here to talk about Mount Rushmore. So you’re thinking of heading to Needles Highway Tunnel in South Dakota and exploring the Black Hills National Forest.
