After riding the trails for a few hours, some good warm comfort food was a must. We stopped into…read morethe Latchstring to warm up and fill up before heading back out. The atmosphere was cozy, service was excellent and the food was delicious. The grilled cheese sandwich was larger enough for two, the chicken fried steak will add 5lbs to your belt line, the club was flavorful, French Dip was dripping with melty cheese and debris, and the calamity sandwich was excellent, really enjoyed the added flavors brought in with the use of green chili's to the spread. Warmed up next to the fireplace with a nice cup of hot chocolate before heading back onto the trails. A must stop if your out riding in the hills!

I am commenting on the Latchstring Inn, that is located in "the village"…read moreThis was an amazing experience ..the rustic atmosphere and super friendly and attentive staff,only enhanced the food experience.Everything we had was fabulous,but the hightlight for me was the ginger scallops on the appetizer menu...These were the best scallops I have ever had,bar none,and being from the NW I've had my share of various scallop dishes. It's a must try,if you like scallops..also we were very impressed with their generous servings and wine pours..oh yes !! and do try the Buffalo Stew...very very good...if you're in the area drive up the canyon and treat yourself to a great meal and beautiful scenery.

An Amazing First Horseback Riding Experience! We came all…read morethe way from California and had never ridden horses before, so we honestly didn't know what to expect. We were a party of six, and from start to finish, we had an awesome time! Andy was a fantastic tour guide--friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and made everyone feel comfortable, especially those of us who were riding for the very first time. The horses were absolutely beautiful, and the scenery and landscape were incredible. Everything was so peaceful and relaxing. One of the highlights was getting to see deer running around in the beautiful surroundings. It was truly an experience we'll never forget. We highly recommend Andy's Trail Rides to anyone looking for a fun, peaceful, and memorable horseback riding experience. Thank you, Andy, for such a great time! When we come back to the area, we will definitely visit again! 5 stars all the way!

Even though it was raining, they still took us out and made the most of it. Riding through the Black Hills in the rain actually made it a really memorable experience.

What a fun day. Machine had a navigation screen and radio, we've rented quite a few machines, and…read moreit was by far the best one ever. It was so easy to see where you were at on screen, i wish they all had them. Somebody else at the campground had rented from someone else, and it didn't have the nav. screen and they got lost.

Great equipment and service! We would rent from them again for sure!…read moreVery friendly and helpful staff.

We had a great day and caught a lot of walleye. It was our first time ever fishing walleye because…read morewe hail from Arizona where other species thrive. But that didn't stop us from catching with Kevin's guidance. He knows walleye, he knows fishing, and he knows how to treat a client. We were very happy with Kevin's service. We had a great time, learned a lot, and feasted on fish tacos for dinner. Kevin explained stuff every step of the way. He was funny, polite and down-to-earth. I have absolutely zero complaints about our experience with him. Highly recommended. My son made the right guide selection. If you want walleye, give Kevin a call. Feel free to contact me if you have questions.

The…read moreuphill really worked the muscles after the falls trails "warm up" - the walk back to the Savoy trailhead was a great way to cool down. Located across the street from the lodge, watch for the sign... trailhead doesn't have a parking area- park in 1 of the lots across the street, or at Savoy trailhead, if you want to add a mile ea way of easy walking on a sunny, paved trail. The view from the top is lovely but, for me, this one was all about the climb & the sendory fulfillment the trail brought with it. The scent of pine, the warm air with a slight breeze & plenty of shade to protect you from direct sunlight. It wasn't heavily populated. There are ample rest areas and signs to warn you what you're in for. I've only included pictures from the 76 Trail. Ss mentioned, it's next to the falls trails as well (See Savoy Trailhead & Roughlock Falls) - if knocking of the 76 Trail, I suggest a trek to 1 set of falls pre and the other post - these trails are located to the left of the restaurant and behind the lodge, over the foot bridge. Each is in the -mile range.

This review is for the rec center/gym area and not the aquatic park. We were in the area camping…read morefor about a month and so we got the one month membership for one senior and one adult. I believe the cost was $74 for both. We enjoyed indoor Pickleball courts, full cardio room and weight room. We didn't use the elevated walking platform or the gymnasium nor any of the classes --but there's so much more than what we got to use and I think it was still well with the price. Restrooms and showers were very clean, which is a bonus. Be aware that the lines can be long when the aquatic park opens around noon, but with our one month membership, we had a card to skip the line and scan ourselves into the gym facilities.
