     This lake is one of the great places here in the Black Hills. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Black Hills. Do go to Sylvan Lake Dam if you're here at Sylvan Lake; if you came for an overnight stay Fort Welikit Family Campground is a splendid site to camp.
This lake is so wonderful. Sylvan Lake is not the only site nearby, Mitchell Lake is a nearby lake, and hiking is a popular thing to do around Sylvan Lake; Cathedral Spires Trail is a great local trail.
 
   Hill City Koa Kampground is a glorious local campground, and there's good hiking along the Lost Cabin Trail. This lake is so wonderful.

Terry Peak Ski Area is positioned geographically to receive a substantial amount snowfall through the winter months. With elevations of 5,900-ft to over 7,000-ft. more snow can fall on Terry Peak than anywhere else in the region. It's common for snowfall predictions to exceed up to three times of what was anticipated or to receive snowfall at 5,500-ft and higher when snow wasn't expected at all. However it's important to remember that we can depend on snow at Terry Peak. With the efficient high-tec snowmaking system covering 60% of the mountain, good conditions are assured from the begriming to end of the season. Stay posted to our web site and live mountain cams for dependable surface and weather conditions. Remember: SNOW HAPPENS AT TERRY PEAK!...
