South Dakota maintains in the Custer State Park one of the most picturesque recreation grounds in the country. It comprises 61,440 acres in the Black Hills section of the state, 30,000 acres of which are designated by the National Government as a game preserve. Among other interesting game there is a herd of seventy-five buffalo. A wonderful system of highways is being constructed which will open up this park to motor tourists.

The Wind Cave National Park is accessible to motor tourists and is being visited by more than thirty thousand tourists annually, most of whom are campers.

There are three of the National Forests in South Dakota, viz.: the Black Hills (483,403 acres); the Harney (548,854 acres); the Sioux (75,524 acres). These are being rapidly opened up to camping motor tourists by the construction of improved highways and camping sites. [291]
