Wildlife
Custer Park is home to animals like mountain goats, elk and burros. There are 1,500 known bison that roam the park as well. The 18-mile Wildlife Loop Road is a perfect way to see the abundance of wildlife.
Roam Free
Custer Park is a "roam free" park; you can walk the hiking trails or wander throughout the park.
Geologic Formations
The tallest point in the park is Harney Peak at 7,242 feet. Granite formations called needles are also a draw to the park. According to the South Dakota's tourism website, the most unique of these spears is called Needles Eye, which stands 30 to 40 feet tall with only a 3- to 4-foot gap, making it look like a needle eye.

Camping
Campgrounds and lodges are located throughout the park for overnight stays. There are also evening campfires, naturalist programs and guided tours.
