Operator Sought for Roy Lake State Park in Lake City

LAKE CITY, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota wildlife officials are now accepting concessionaire proposals to operate Roy Lake State Park located in the northeast corner of the state.

The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Department is offering a 10-year lease after the current operator, who owns the facilities and equipment for the resort, notified the state of the intent to sell.

A department summary shows interested operators would have to make a required investment of $975,000. The summary put gross revenue for 2014 at over $358,000.

The 509-acre Roy Lake State Park is located 3 miles southwest of Lake City off South Dakota Highway 10. It consists of a multi-lane boat ramp, two campgrounds with 100 campsites, a swimming beach and many other amenities.

Proposal must be submitted by January 13th.
