Lake DeSmet occupies a natural undrained basin on the divide between the Piney Creek, and one of its tributaries, the Boxelder Creek. It is one of several basins in the Buffalo area that were formed by coal seam fires. After the coal deposits burned, the clinker and other sediments collapsed into the space vacated by the burned coal forming a natural basin.
From Buffalo, take Interstate 90 north for 5 miles.
From Sheridan, take Interstate 90 south for 25 miles.
Lake is on the east side of the Interstate and can be accessed off of Exit 51.
