• Wildlife Station Visitor Center - Next on the itinerary is the Wildlife Station Visitor Center, a delightful cabin surrounded by wooden fences. It’s a perfect place for a break, as there won’t be another restroom for a while. The center features restrooms, small exhibits, and information about the park’s wildlife. It is open daily from 8 AM to 4 PM, with the parking lot conveniently located on the left for those who wish to stop by.

Note: The tour spans over 27 miles, includes more than 25 audio stories, and takes approximately 2-3 hours to complete.

Enjoy new, lifetime access with no expiration. Use it anytime, on any trip, as often as you like.

• Blue Bell Stables - Next, the journey continues to Blue Bell Stables, the sole riding stables in Custer State Park. Open from mid-May to September, it offers trail rides for both beginners and advanced riders. Morning rides are available, and while advance booking is advised, walk-ins are welcome if you arrive 30 minutes early.
• Custer State Park Wildlife Loop Road - Welcome to the Wildlife Loop Road in Custer State Park! This 18-mile scenic drive provides the best opportunity to see wildlife such as bison, burros, deer, elk, coyotes, prairie dogs, and bighorn sheep. Remember, these are wild animals, so it’s crucial to maintain a safe distance—no petting, feeding, or selfies with bison! Stay vigilant for wildlife crossings and enjoy the stunning surroundings safely.
• Mount Coolidge - To our left is Mount Coolidge, featuring the Mount Coolidge Lookout and Fire Tower at its summit. Standing at 6,023 feet, it offers breathtaking views of the Black Hills, Mount Rushmore, and the Badlands. In 1923, it was known as Lookout Mountain, and a man named Jack Sheehan once resided here to monitor for fires. One day, he had a memorable encounter with a bear that turned out to be a pet seeking companionship!
• Legion Lake - Approaching Legion Lake, a serene location with a beach, playground, picnic areas, and a half-mile hike around the lake that takes just 15 minutes. In December 2017, the lake was part of a wildfire that burned 35,000 acres. Thanks to enhanced safety measures, visitors can now enjoy the lake without worry. Parking will soon be on the right—don’t miss a quick visit!
