Punished Woman's South Public Water Access

Punished Woman's Lake is a 477-acre glacial lake in northeastern South Dakota, located near the town of South Shore in Codington County. This south shore boat ramp provides convenient access to the lake's approximately 4.5 miles of shoreline, making it a good launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. The lake's average depth of 12 feet offers relatively stable conditions suitable for paddling and small watercraft.

Before visiting, note that a **park entrance license is required** to access boat ramps within South Dakota state parks and recreation areas. Check with local authorities or the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks for current licensing requirements, hours of operation, and any amenities available at this access point. The natural glacial lake setting provides a scenic paddling destination with decent water depth for most small craft.
