Lakota Lake is a small lake in the Norbeck Wildlife Preserve of Custer County, South Dakota.[1]

Motorized watercraft are not permitted in the lake, but fishing and kayaking are.[2] Common fish in the lake include rainbow trout, brook trout, northern pike, and panfish.[3]

The lake is fed by Iron Creek, a long, winding creek that flows through Pennington County and Custer County. The lake forms just north of where U.S. Route 16A (Iron Mountain Road) crosses the creek.[1][2] Iron Creek drains the lake to the northeast, flowing east until it meets Battle Creek, a tributary of the Cheyenne River.[4]
