Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway
Custer State Park, SD

Encompassing the southeastern section of the byway, this 73,000 acre state park is part of a scenic drive as well as a land of outdoor recreation. Places like Harney's Peak and the Needles Eye make hiking in Custer State Park Memorable and very photogenic.

Although you probably won't find gold in French Creek like Custer did, you will find a few great fish if you bring your fishing pole. And with a herd of 1,500 bison wandering through the park, the wildlife mascot of Custer State Park is, of course, the buffalo.

Favorite outdoor activities include hiking 7,242-foot Harney Peak, mountain biking, horseback riding, rock climbing, fishing, chuckwagon suppers, and jeep rides to see the bison.
