Run Wild
At Custer State Park Resorts


large buffalo herd

This is where bison roam free. This is where granite spires tower over pristine lakes. This is where clear mountain streams flow through unspoiled forests. This is Custer State Park...and it’s all yours.

71,000 acres of natural beauty and real-life adventure await you and your family. Take a Buffalo Safari jeep ride in search of grazing bison. Ride horseback on an old Indian trail. Enjoy an early evening dinner of native game, such as pheasant, trout or buffalo, before you catch a musical, comedy or drama at The Black Hills Playhouse.

You can even explore a mountain trail that may lead to a band of big horn sheep or a herd of majestic elk. Activities abound throughout the Park.
