About South Shore

Tucked along the water in Codington County, South Shore is a tiny community of around two hundred people on the banks of Punished Woman Lake. Daily life centers on peaceful water views, fishing, and a relaxed, neighborly pace. It is an easy twenty-minute drive northeast of Watertown, giving locals a quiet lakeside home base within reach of bigger-city jobs, schools, and everyday amenities.
