Iron Creek Lake

Iron Creek Lake is a natural wonder that may be found in the Blue Hills on the western side of Spearfish Canyon. It's one of the best lakes to visit in South Dakota. You may have a nice day here because there aren't many people around and there aren't any motorboats on the water. There are other cottages close by where you may stay overnight and take in the beautiful scenery. On its southern and northern sides, respectively, hikers can explore the Old Baldy Trail and the Big Hills Trail.

This artificial lake draws kayakers, hikers, campers, four-wheelers, cyclists, and just about any other kind of outdoor enthusiast you can think of. The beach and campsite areas are typically crowded with tourists during the summer. Even if some people are fortunate enough to have a cabin on the lake, they choose to live there all year round as the days get shorter and colder. The convenience store, which is situated near the parking area's entrance, sells small necessities. Also recently constructed and in excellent condition for public use is an outhouse. To help inflate lake floaties, an electric air pump is frequently accessible at the store.
