Ancient fossils still lie hidden in the bold and bronzen buttes of Badlands National Park, a protected wilderness penetrated by hiking and biking trails.
The trail follows the lakeshore 1.9 miles to Beth Lake Campground. The lakeside trail starts in the Beaver Lake Campground near camp unit 4, the sign is by a small stream and is easy to spot (about 40 feet off the road). From the sign, walk the trail mid-slope to Beaver Lake. Beaver Lake boat ramp will be on your right when you get to the lake. Continue to your left to the backside of the lake. You will go through Beth Lake Campground. When you reach the end of the campground you will see a small earth dam. Cross the dam and follow the trail on the far side of Beth Lake.
We offer a compact version of Go-Southdakota for mobile users, allowing you to access just the information you need on the road. Of course, you can still use the full version of Go-Southdakota on your mobile device just as you can on your desktop.
