We're so lucky to have a gorgeous park like Custer State Park in South Dakota. Custer State Park is the largest and first state park in South Dakota. There's literally something for everyone to enjoy: Camping, hiking, biking, swimming, fishing, or just relaxing.

It's home to many wildlife like big horn sheep, burrowing owls, coyotes, or mountain lions. But the gems of Custer State Park are the beautiful bison. Over 1,300 bison are inside Custer State Park, and many tourists venture out west just to see them.
