Get Away From It All At This Crystal Clear Lake In South Dakota

On a warm day, there is no better place to be than the lake. Whether it be fishing, sunning, boating, or swimming, you can try a new activity at a different lake every time you visit! However, if you are looking for a body of water that is not only fun but beautiful, we recommend visiting this crystal clear SoDak lake:

Located near Hot Springs in Fall River County is the gorgeous Angostura Reservoir.

Fed by the Cheyenne River, the Angostura Reservoir was built after the Angostura Dam in 1949 and has since assisted with irrigation for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.

Covering a whopping 4,407 acres, the Angostura has become a South Dakota go-to for all things water sports. It boasts some of the best fishing and boating opportunities in the state.

Do you prefer rest and relaxation over water fun? Luckily for you, Angostura Reservoir has more than 36 miles of shoreline, which is perfect for both lying on the beach and camping.

Campsites at Angostura Reservoir start at just $17 a night and can be booked by calling (800) 710-2267 or visiting their website.

In addition to the water, the area also offers the Angostura Recreation Area, which is home to additional bike paths and hiking trails.

Trust us: If you are an outdoorsman (or woman), Angostura is the place for you!

The Angostura Reservoir and Recreation Area is open year-round and costs $6 per day per vehicle.

Address: 13157 North Angostura Road, Hot Springs, SD 57747
