Pigtail Bridges
The“ pigtail” bridges on Iron Mountain Road are one of a kind. Such care was taken not to disturb the landscape that some sections of the road actually divide into onelane, oneway ribbons that swoop and bound through mixed pine and deciduous forest.
The Black Hills has countless lakes, streams, rivers and reservoirs. Every lake— from Angostura Reservoir State Recreation Area down south to Orman Dam and Pactola further north and Stockade to Legion in the middle— has plenty of room for play. Most of the lakes have beaches. Or put your boat or jet ski in the water. Paddleboats can be rented in Custer State Park, as can canoes. Or, find your own private little cove and enjoy a day of lying in the sun, picknicking and camping.
