Stockade Lake Trail is a scenic Black Hills hike that winds through a ponderosa pine forest before quickly climbing to a ridge above the lake. From the ridge, hikers are treated to multiple lookout points with sweeping views of Stockade Lake and distant views of Black Elk Peak. This trail offers a rewarding mix of forested terrain and open vistas, making it a great option for those looking to enjoy classic Black Hills scenery without a long or strenuous hike.

Lovely shade, easy creek access for the kids. Parking fills fast by 10am.

Rock in sections; bring poles. Worth it for the canyon views.
