Dalton Lake Road is a graded dirt and gravel forest road found off Vanocker Canyon Road north of Nemo in the Black Hills. Dalton Lake Road provides access to Dalton Lake and the adjoining campground. This road also provides access to the Centennial hiking trail near the Dalton Lake Campground and the Little Elk Creek hiking trail at the road's eastern end. 

Dalton Lake Road is accessible by most vehicles, including those with modest ground clearance. In wet seasons, some mud may be found, especially near the Little Elk Creek trail start. The Dalton Lake Campground is a National Forest campground suitable for tent, vehicle, and small camper-based camping. Those bringing smaller off-road machines will also find access to numerous single-track and restricted-width trails in this area.
