When making plans, please allow ample time to travel at a safe speed-generally 25 miles per hour or slower. Winding drives throughout the park are most enjoyable at a slower pace. (And just another 10 minutes drive from there, find the State Game Lodge or Blue Bell Lodge.) Take it easy Sylvan Lake Lodge is right at the entrance of the grand highway, and Legion Lake Lodge can be found just 1 mile from the south entrance, as well. Plan your visit from spring through fall.
See it on the map Part of the Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway When’s the best time to go?ĭue to its narrow, windy roads, Needles Highway is closed in the winter months. Visitors traveling the highway pass Sylvan Lake and a unique rock formation called the Needle's Eye, so named for the opening created by wind, rain, freezing, and thawing. It is a narrow needle- like tunnel formed from. The roadway was carefully planned by former South Dakota Governor Peter Norbeck, who marked the entire course on foot and by horseback. If you want some adventure during driving, while tripping in Custer, then you can opt for Needles Eye Tunnel. The road’s name comes from the needlelike granite formations that seem to pierce the horizon along the highway. The Needles Highway is more than a 14-mile road-it’s a spectacular drive through pine and spruce forests, meadows surrounded by birch and aspen, and rugged granite mountains. Point your vacation in the scenic direction
