Angostura Recreation Area
Angostura Reservoir is a water-lovers haven in the southern Black Hills. With plenty of room for boating, fishing and swimming, this recreation area attracts visitors to its clear waters and natural sand beaches. The dam was built in 1949 by the Bureau of Reclamation across the Cheyenne River for irrigation purposes but paved the way for recreation. The word angostura is Spanish for narrows.
Open year-round, Campsites May to Sept and a valid park entrance license is required on all vehicles entering the recreation area.
