Description:

 

Keyhole State Park is located on the western edge of the famed Black Hills, between Sundance and Moorcroft, and is easily accessed off I-90 at exit 165. The Keyhole Dam, an earthfill structure, was completed by the Bureau of Reclamation in 1952. Within site of Devils Tower, Keyhole State Park is a mecca for both resident and migrating birds of all species, and offers excellent fishing for walleye, catfish, smallmouth bass, and northern pike.

History:

The Keyhole area centers on the reservoir, approximately 14,720 acres of water recreation opportunity. The elevation at Keyhole is 4,100 feet. Seasons are comparatively mild, with great weather from spring through fall, and some of the finest ice fishing in the state during the winter months. Keyhole State Park was named for the “Keyhole” livestock brand that was used by two brothers by the name of McKean. They established a ranch in the area.

Keyhole State Park to Host Lanternfest
 
Keyhole State Park will host Lanternfest Saturday August 5th. This family-friendly event will provide opportunities for kayaking and paddleboarding as well as glow painting and other outdoor activities and games which are all free with the price of park admission.
 
The event begins at 10am at Keyhole's beach area south of the marina in which people are invited to help clean up the beach. 
 
From 5pm - 8pm activities will be held at the boat launch within Keyhole's Tatanka Campground and will include Kayaking & Paddle Boarding, Glow Painting, Flower Stamp Making, and Yard Games. From 8pm-9pm, guests can enjoy s'mores provided by the park at the boat launch while sending lanterns they've decorated out onto the lake. "The glowing orange lanterns will float on the lake, illuminating the surrounding area, and create a magical nighttime experience," says Emma Jones, Keyhole's Interpretive Ranger.
