Lake Alvin State Recreation Area

Although small in size, Lake Alvin has become a very popular area. This 59-acre park is best known for its beach facilities and excellent fishing and boating. Its proximity to Sioux Falls and Newton Hills State Park make it a great place to enjoy a day on the beach. Anglers can expect to catch walleye, northern pike, crappie, sunfish, perch, catfish and bullheads. The 105-acre lake is the perfect size for any boat and motor; however, the lake is designated as a no-wake zone.
