ROUBAIX LAKE

The Black Hills in western South Dakota and northeastern Wyoming feature a varied landscape of rugged rock formations, canyons and gulches, open grassland parks, tumbling streams and deep blue lakes. This secluded lake is small with a shoreline that borders pine forest.

Recreation: Robaix Lake is ideal for swimming, canoeing, kayaking and fishing for brook and rainbow trout. Horseback riders, mountain bikers and off-road vehicle riders have access to a 1-mile multi-use trail that leads to a network of other trails.

Nearby: The nearby town of Deadwood, South Dakota, is a National Historic Landmark with casinos, Wild West saloons, restaurants and shopping. Mount Rushmore can be reached in under an hour.
