A nearly 400-acre US Forest Service reservoir on Spring Creek in the Black Hills, about 15 miles southwest of Rapid City. The 1870s gold-mining town of Sheridan was inundated when the lake filled in 1942, and divers explore the submerged townsite remnants in roughly 20 ft of water; maximum lake depth is about 40 ft. It is a quieter alternative to nearby Pactola, with marina, beaches and campgrounds on shore.
