The Black Hill's Largest Reservoir
Pactola is not a town, but rather a recreation district surrounding Lake Pactola Reservoir 19 miles west of Rapid City. The mountain lake has marinas, campgrounds, picnic areas, swimming beach, and the Black Hills National Forest Visitor Center. Heights above the lake are dotted with vacation home rentals and B&Bs hidden among the pines.
Attractions nearby include Circle B Ranch Chuckwagon Supper and Music Show, Thunderhead Falls, and Black Hills Caverns to name a few.
