Summer's End
Sep 3, 2013
Sylvan Lake is considered Custer State Park's crown jewel. It was created in 1881 when Theodore Reder built a dam across Sunday Gulch. It's now a popular destination for swimming, hiking, rock climbing and fishing.
Michele Richter shared these photos from her weekend visit. "The lake was busy with people enjoying their last summer day," Richter says. Visit this link to see more of her work.
