Custer State Park is a beautiful place that can be explored by foot, horseback, or by car. Enjoy the wild buffalo, begging burros, and other nature’s bounty as you enjoy a mountain canyon cookout after your trek. Custer State Park, which was first designated a Game Preserve on May 13, 1913, was established to reintroduce endangered wildlife species lost to early settlements and gold prospectors’ activities. Today, wildlife thrives in and around this protected area. 56,000 acres of land are reserved for the Norbeck Wildlife Preserve at the park’s northern border. Its center is 13,000 acres, called Black Elk Wilderness after Black Elk, an Oglala Lakota holyman. Because animals roam free in this park, you never know where or when they might be!

There are many animals to see: bighorn sheep, buffalo, pronghorn, 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 fawns, and buffalo playing on the plains. From a Fort Pierre settler’s herd of 6 bulls and 12 cows in 1914 to a bison herd that now numbers over 1,300. They can roam freely throughout the park all year. In fall, it’s time to round up! The annual Buffalo Roundup sees animals from all over the valley counted and checked for general well-being at the event called the Buffalo Roundup. It is home to bighorn sheep and mountain goats, as well as white-tail deer and mule deer.

Enjoy wildlife from a new perspective with a Buffalo Safari Jeep Tour. It’s the only way you can get off Wildlife Loop Road. You may even end up right among them! Summer is popular, but other seasons offer special viewing experiences. Come in spring to see 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 wildlife. Wintertime offers more opportunities for sightings because animals are looking for food and losing some of their shyness.
