Blacks Pond

Blacks Pond Picnic Area is located on the Custer National Forest in the Custer National Forest. It is in the middle of a watchable wildlife route and the pond itself is home to several different species of wildlife.

There are two campsites with a handicapped accessible toilet. No fee required. No water available. Fish and Game stock this pond with rainbow trout. We were not fortunate enough to have caught any but they did seem to enjoy our worms...lol...Directions: Blacks Pond is located 17 miles south of Ashland.
