The Sylvan Lake Shore Trail offers passing motorists on the Needles Highway an opportunity to stretch their legs on a leisurely 1 mile walk. This is a trail that the whole family can enjoy. While most of this trail is relatively flat, a portion contains steps and crosses exposed rocky areas that are not easily traversed with a stroller.
It’s a very interesting trail
I recommend this easy trail of very interesting rock formations for everyone.
This trail makes a complete loop around Sylvan Lake, with a sandy swimming beach and is among the easiest trails to hike within the Custer State Park. Enormous granite formations line portions of the lake making it one of the most picturesque trails in the Black Hills National Forest.
There is a small general store with watercraft rental at the lake. The area includes a lodge with fine dinning.
