Lakota Lake
Lakota Lake is a small lake located southeast of Keystone SD, on US Highway 16A/Iron Mountain Road. It is closer to the entrance of Custer State Park than Keystone. The lake has a picnic area and a small river that flows into and from the lake. It is usually passed by for the more popular and larger lakes making it more serene and less busy. This is a favorite among fisherman, and there is a small trail around part of the lake. On the backside of the lake, there is a pocketful of small waterfalls depending on the season.
Easily marked off of Iron Mountain Road.
Behind the lake can be pretty cool depending on the season and rain levels.
