“the revenant”
Nestled on the shores of Shadehill Reservoir, Shadehill Recreation Area offers opportunities to enjoy land- and water-based activities. The reservoir is one of western South Dakota's few large lakes. The dam, built in 1951 by the Bureau of Reclamation, creates more than 5,000 surface acres of water to enjoy.
If you watched The Revenant, this is the real-life location where Leo DiCaprio's character, Hugh Glass, gets mauled by the bear. The lake was made in the 1950's, and according to legend, before it was put in, you could even see the shallow grave where Fitzgerald and Bridger left him for dead.
