👍👍 Pretty awesome hidden gem especially for fishing and swimming. The water is a bit brisk due to the elevation but the views and setting is quite amazing. The water is clean and it's never busy. It's helpful that this lake is non-motorized so it's always nice and calm.

👍 Center Lake is a Serene camping area located in the black hills. I liked it because there were not very many RVs and mostly just tent campers. It's been my experience that RVs make much more noise and have a much bigger footprint than us tent campers. I enjoyed my stay and I will definitely go back.
