South Dakota’s Custer State Park has been named number 72 among the 150 best things to do in the United States this summer by Travel Lemming.
Custer State Park is the single South Dakota attraction to make the list of 150 top things to do, alongside diverse attractions including a Bavarian Village in Washington and a wild animal sanctuary in Colorado.
The article cites land and lake recreation, including hiking, boating and bike riding, as key features of the park. It also encourages travelers to “make time for several scenic drives in the park”, noting that “1,350 bison call the state park home, and herds are visible along Wildlife Loop Road.”
Travel Lemming Senior Travel Writer Laura Falin commented, “Although South Dakota is best known for Mount Rushmore, you’ll find more to do at nearby Custer State Park! Watch for bison, swim in a mountain lake, or hike one of the many trails in the park. You can spend several days exploring the largest state park in South Dakota and still not see all of it!”
