Another great place to visit and enjoy in the Black Hills is Pactola Reservoir. Now, I have lived in the area since 1990, but since we didn't have a boat, I never got to really explore the lake. My father-in-law bought a boat recently, so we took it out last weekend. There are all sorts of inlets and parts of the lake that you'd never see without the boat.
Pactola is not only a beautiful lake, it's got some history attached to it. At the bottom of the lake is the submerged town of Pactola - an old mining camp. The clear water makes the lake a favorite for scuba divers to visit some of the artifacts. Visibility on most days is 20 to 25 feet.
The picture above was taken after we loaded the boat in the evening. The wind had calmed. It was cool and clear. I did not want to go home!
Certainly a place to at least stop by and take some pictures of. If you can get a boat, go for a cruise. You will enjoy it!
Trying to make the most out of the summer before it's gone...
