Sylvan Lake, in Custer State Park, South Dakota, is a popular resort area and wedding venue.

It is located along the Peter Norbeck Byway. Roughly a figure-eight route, the byway travels through portions of Custer State Park, the Norbeck Wildlife Preserve, near Mount Rushmore National Memorial and the Black Elk National Wilderness Area. Highways 16A, 244, 89 and 87 combine to create the route, A masterpiece of artistic engineering, this 70-mile byway includes spiraling bridges, hairpin curves, granite tunnels and awe-inspiring views. No wonder it was named one of the 10 Most Outstanding Byways in America.

All of the lakes in the Black Hills are manmade. Sylvan, the most popular, was featured in the 2007 Disney movie, National Treasure: Book of Secrets.
