Glacial Lakes Kayak and Canoe Trails

There are dozens of small lakes located in the northeast South Dakota Glacial Lakes Region.  Most of these small lakes have undeveloped shores surrounded by scenic native forest and/or native tallgrass prairie.  The Prairie Coteau Watershed Project has developed a list of several lakes that can be easily accessed by paddlers.  Most of these lakes lack access for larger recreational watercraft and offer the paddler a quiet safe environment to enjoy.  Maps showing the location of these lakes, directions, access points, and suggested routes are listed to the right.
