If you drive Highway 16 at all, you've probably driven past a dam between the turn to Sylvan Lake and the turn to Mount Rushmore. Hidden in that corner beyond the roar of traffic is a peaceful little lake called Sunday Gulch.
When first arriving, there is a decorative bridge crossing a gentle stream. You can look over the edge, watch the water bubble over the rocks and even spot a dime in the water where someone made a wish. Meanwhile, just beyond the stream is a mass of reeds and cattails whistling in the wind and nodding in the breeze.
