History
Hartford Beach was among three parks established in 1945 when the South Dakota Legislature created the statewide park system. The other two parks added to the system were Lake Herman State Park and Oakwood Lakes State Park. Up until that time, Custer State Park, which opened in 1919, was the only park managed by the state.[3]
