Welcome to Skogen Kitchen, a chef driven concept, offering innovative dinner options. Owners Joseph Raney (Chef) and Eliza Raney (GM) moved to South Dakota from Southern California to offer their experiences to the little town of Custer. They look forward to having you as their guest.

An absolutely beautiful spot as you head into Custer State Park. Lots of wonderful hiking trails, and on the warmer days, you can't beat swimming in the lake.

An absolutely beautiful lake to spend the day and rent a boat from the marina. Ask the people in the marina for the cliff jumping spot. It's been a favorite of my kids for years.

The last time my family drove this loop, we ran into a herd of over 100 buffalo. The loop usually takes an hour or two to complete, but well worth it, especially if you run into a herd of buffalo.
