Center Lake

Center Lake is in Custer State Park and one of the least popular or known lakes. The lake is smaller and used for fishing. There is a campground on site that is especially tent friendly. The lake also has a picnic area, a playground, and a small beach. 

Center Lake is off S Playhouse Rd and Center Lake Road near the Black Hill’s Playhouse on the east side of Custer State Park.
