Lake Diver Forum Member Jafo’s input on Lake Francis Case:
“Lake Francis Case at Pixtown, South Dakota is a nice place to dive. Diving is best anywhere on the east side of the lake. Mostly rock bed. The west side is all mud. If you like there is also fast water diving below the dam. I haven't tried that yet but I hear it's great.”
