Not as exciting as say white water rafting, canoeing is a leisurely sport. The slow, easy pace of a canoe in a clear water stream or on a still lake or reservoir makes for a pleasurable day.

It is hard to find a stream in the Black Hills area of South Dakota that is suitable for canoeing. However, most lakes and reservoirs in are open for oar or paddle boat users. Small motor, i.e. trolling boats, are permitted on Deerfield, Horsethief, and Bismarck Lakes. There are "no wake" rules enforced at these locations.

If you simply must canoe on a stream, there are some sections of the Rapid Creek west of Rapid City that can accommodate you.

A total of eleven reservoirs/lakes are available in the Black Hills National Forest. Each of these offers a variety of different opportunities for boating in addition to canoeing. If you prefer to make some noise and want to use a power boat, four reservoirs/lakes are open for that: Angostura, Deerfield, Sheridan and Pactola. You can rent canoes, fishing boats, personal water craft, i.e. Ski Doos, and/or pontoons at a public marina located at Sheridan Lake.

Sylvan Lake in Custer State Park and Canyon Lake in Rapid City have paddle-boat concessions, if all you desire is to get on the water.
