Sylvan Lake, known as the “crown jewel” of Custer State Park, is located in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Created in 1881 when Theodore Reder built a dam across Sunday Gulch, [cite web | last =Interactive Hotel Solutions | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | title =Sylvan Lake Lodge | work = | publisher =Holiday Junction | date = | url =http://holidayjunction.com/property/united_states/south_dakota/sylvan_lake_lodge | format = | doi = | accessdate =2008-01-11 ] it offers picnic areas, small rental boats, swimming, and hiking trails. It is also popular as a starting point for excursions to Harney Peak and The Needles.

The lake was featured in the 2007 film . The film made the lake appear to be located directly behind Mount Rushmore when in fact it is five miles southwest of the monument.
