Sunday Gulch Trail

The pet-friendly Sunday Gulch Trail is a popular hike in Custer State Park, located in Custer, SD. At nearly four miles in length, this trail is considered quite difficult as a bit of scrambling is required. The trail will take you near Sylvan Lake. In the beginning, you’ll traverse over large boulders down a valley to some great views of big granite spires and the northern Black Hills all around you. There are handrails to aid you in your journey along the pathway. You'll be pleased they're there on the way back down. Leashed pups are allowed to join, but make sure to clean up after them.

Great hike with a steep finish
The way we went was pretty manageable for the first few miles. the end, climbing back up to Sylvan Lake was tough. There are some handrails to help. Good thing Puck is young and fearless (ok, that’s less of a good thing).

Lots of trails here
Sylvan Lake is the kicking off point for a range of dog-friendly hikes. There’s the easy round-the-Lake trail that is mostly flat with only a bit of clambering over rocks required. Or the seven-mile round trip climbing up to Black Elk Peak, the highest point east of the Rockies (allow four hours).
