This lake is so wonderful. You imagine that's sufficient? Just getting warmed up. Horse Thief Campground is a perfect campground nearby; Jewel Cave National Monument is one of the destinations that are great to have a look at nearby. A lake close by is Major Lake, and there is a magnificent hiking trail close by called the Lost Cabin
 
               Trail.
This lake is so wonderful. Head up to Terry Peak and strap some skis to your feet, and on a fine day you can take a hike along the Rapid Creek Trail. Thompson Reservoir gets a normal amount of annual precipitation; throughout May this area sees the most rain, and January is the month with the least moisture. So much cool stuff to do here in the Black Hills, too great to be true. Reno Gulch Reservoir is a nearby lake that you could go to, and the Sunday Gulch Trail is a perfect hiking trail close by.
Dry warm beds await you at Super 8 Motel - Hill City/Mt. Rushmore, and Little Thompson Draw is another great spot to have a look at nearby.

Nice facility. Friendly, helpful staff. We just returned from 3 nights of tent-camping there. Only complaint- 16 hwy was a bit more active at night than we would hope. Again, in a tent, you hear it all.  Didn't realize the alternate bathhouse was the one with all the remodel until our last day-very nice!!!!!...

Trout Haven

Been here more than I can count. The kids always love feeding the fish (trout ponds). The food is delicious. For a really good time, fish for your dinner. It's guaranteed fresh(you caught it) & they cook it up for you or pack it to go. A really nice campground with nice people running it. Very Clean....Excellent Campsite! Highly recommended and they even have onsite breakfast, lunch and dinner available on a cabin like cafe sitting on their own little pond. Very quiet and peaceful setting even during the Rally (as quiet as you can expect :))

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!...
