 ## What Else Can I Expect During the Winter Months?

During the months of November through April, Custer State Parks Resort's main lodges, restaurants, and regular Park activities (and even some scenic drives) must close and/or be winterized. However, the Park does not close its doors entirely, and an annual SD Park Pass is valid all year long.

Read on to discover more about how Custer State Park Resort transforms during winter months to offer a secluded, peaceful winter experience for visitors.

 ###   Custer State Park Visitor Center  

Winter hours are posted on the [SD Game, Fish & Park](https://gfp.sd.gov/parks/detail/custer-state-park/) website. Inquire about snowshoe rentals.

 

 

###   Hiking Trails, Events & Workshops  

The southern Black Hills notoriously get far less snow than the northern Hills, and so many Custer State Park hiking trails are able to remain open and accessible all winter. Inquire at the Visitor Center for the most up-to-date information.

 

 

###   Creekside Lodge  

Open all winter for overnight stays with continental breakfast, along with select winter cabin rentals available. Reduced [winter rates](https://us01.iqwebbook.com/SGLACSPCUS692/)! Two banquet rooms are available for small private event rental.

 

 

###   Buffalo Safari Tours  

Did you know that our Buffalo Safari Tours are offered during the winter months? The "banana belt" effect of the southern Black Hills brings a healthy dose of mild, sunshine-filled days, even during the winter months. Is the forecast calling for clear skies?
