Lake beaches and swimming lakes in South Dakota
South Dakota has 11 lakes and reservoirs in this guide. 9 of them are reservoirs held back by a dam and 2 are natural lakes. The largest is Lake Oahe at about 370,000 acres. The deepest water on record here is at Lake Oahe, about 203 feet. Rivers that feed or drain them include the Missouri River, the Cheyenne River and the Big Sioux River. 4 of these lakes have a public gauge, so their water level on this site is a real reading rather than an estimate. The agency behind the most lakes here is USACE Omaha District. Across the state we map 4 named swimming spots and access points from federal and state sources.
