Lake Alvin Recreation Area

Although small in size, Lake Alvin has become a very popular area. This 59-acre park is best known for its beach facilities and excellent fishing. Its proximity to both Sioux Falls and Newton Hills State Park make it a great place to enjoy a day on the beach.

 The wheelchair accessible fishing dock extends out over Lake Alvin, allowing people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the lake.
