Welcome to the heart of the Black Hills! Custer State Park is a massive 71,000-acre wildlife preserve where you can truly feel the spirit of the West. You'll want to take your time driving the scenic roads, like the Wildlife Loop, where you're almost guaranteed to get into a friendly traffic jam with the park's famous free-roaming bison herd. For an unforgettable experience, navigate the granite spires and tight tunnels of the Needles Highway, a drive that's an adventure in itself. Whether you're hiking to the highest peak east of the Rockies or just enjoying the view, this park is a place to let yourself run wild.
