Lake Goldsmith is a 308-acre lake located in Brookings County, South Dakota, approximately 1 mile north and 1.5 miles west of Volga. With a maximum depth of 9 feet and mean depth of 6 feet, this shallow prairie lake is managed primarily as a saugeye fishery. The lake supports a diverse fish community including saugeye, northern pike, yellow perch, black crappie, walleye, and various other species. Recent fisheries surveys indicate healthy populations with saugeye abundance above long-term averages and northern pike reaching a 10-year high. The lake's relatively shallow nature and productive waters make it an excellent destination for anglers targeting multiple species throughout the year.
