Sylvan Lake

Sylvan Lake (which is known as the "crown jewel" of Custer State Park) in South Dakota is an amazing place. Its unique rock formations and endless pine forests creat a wonderful landscape...which is great for photography!Some of the amazing rock formations around the Lake. A female Mallard Duck swimming on the Lake. Some more rock formations. A waterfall that has carved itself into the face of one of the countless, truely massive, rock formations that encircle the Lake. A Butterfly resting near the shore. A photograph of how crooked the trail that travels around the Lake can get. For some visitors, this part of their journey makes them quite uneasy!
Fun fact about Sylvan Lake: The Lake was featured in the 2007 film "National Treasure: Book of Secrets". In the movie it was supposedly right behind Mount Rushmore. In reality however, it is 5 miles from the monument.
