About Lake Preston
Lake Preston sits in the prairie lake country of eastern South Dakota, a region shaped by glaciers that left behind many shallow lakes, wetlands and rolling farmland. The town of Lake Preston is a small community on the shore, known mainly as a base for fishing, boating and quiet summer days outdoors. The landscape is open and flat, so the sky tends to dominate the view and weather changes are easy to see from the water's edge.
What to watch on the camera
The camera is a nature view, so the main subjects are the lake surface, the shoreline and the sky above them. Depending on the angle and season, you may see calm water in early morning, wind on the surface in the afternoon, or ice and snow in winter. Sunrise and sunset are often the most interesting times, when light changes quickly across the open prairie and the lake reflects the colours of the sky.
Climate and getting there
South Dakota has a continental climate with hot summers, cold winters and changeable spring weather. Late spring through early autumn is the most comfortable period for being outdoors by the lake. Lake Preston is reached by regional roads, and larger cities such as Madison, Watertown and Sioux Falls are within roughly one to two hours' drive, with other live cameras in the region listed on this page.
