South Shore - FS 421

South Shore Road (FS 421) is a short, well-maintained gravel spur located off Deerfield Road, approximately 18 miles west of Hill City. This route leads to the Lake Shore Picnic Area, a serene spot nestled within the Black Hills National Forest. While the road itself is brief, it provides access to a peaceful picnic area surrounded by towering pines and open meadows. The area is equipped with restrooms but lacks potable water, so visitors should plan accordingly. South Shore Road is suitable for most vehicles in dry conditions and serves as a convenient access point for those looking to enjoy a quiet retreat in the forest. Pack in, pack out, leave no trace, and tread lightly.
