Lake Herman State Park

Lake Herman State Park is located on a peninsula that offers visitors a spectacular view of Lake Herman. Melting glacial ice formed this 1,350-acre lake thousands of years ago. Lake Herman State Park is two miles west of Madison off SD Highway 34.  Camping, boating, fishing, and snowmobiling are favorite activities at the park. In addition, evening programs give visitors a deeper understanding of the area's natural and cultural surroundings.  Native oak woodlands and prairie grasses blend to create a lush savanna in the natural areas of the park. Most of the trees are native, while others were planted to provide convenient camping and hiking areas, as well as wildlife habitat.
