Sylvan Lake Lodge

The CCC built several cabins near this building. Rich in history and natural beauty, Sylvan Lake Lodge is Custer State Park's "crown jewel." In a spot suggested by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the hotel sits in a hillside forest of pine and spruce trees, in harmony with the beauty of the rugged landscape. This stone and timber lodge overlooks the sloping hills and the breathtaking beauty of Sylvan Lake.

The original Sylvan Lake Hotel was a stopping point for adventurers hoping to scale Harney Peak.
