Sylvan Lake in the Black Hills of South Dakota

While motorcycling on Needles Highway in the Black Hills, we discovered beautiful Lake Sylvan nestled in the midst of the mountains. The huge rocks on top of the cliff looked as if someone had pinched them with their fingers and placed them carefully on top. Around the lake is a park with kayak rentals and fishng.  On this particular day, there was a large cookout that was open to the public. Buffalo burgers and cold beer were the items of choice. It was a great place to stop, relax for a while and meet some great fellow bikers. We were having such a wonderful day already and this stop along the way just added to it.
