Besides the ATV trails to the West, the Bluebird Trailhead gives you great access to all the Forest Service roads East, between there and Pringle. I suggest entering at FS 309 and taking a right at FS 3141H. This trail takes you through a beautiful limestone canyon. From the canyon head East and South. Keep an eye out for Ward Reservoir, McClure Dam, and Ventling Dam, but do not expect much water.
For some of the best rental opportunities in the Black Hills National Forest, visit DEADWOOD OUTDOOR RENTALS.
Ghost towns in the area include Argyle and the still active Pringle. Look for old buildings at Pringle mixed with more modern structures. Watch for 12-mile Ranch an old stagecoach stop and still active ranch.
RALLY with us at the STURGIS OFFROAD RALLY.
MYSTIC HILLS HIDEAWAY RESORT OFFERS A GREAT STAY, AND ABILITY TO RIDE DIRECTLY TO THE TRAILS.
The roads and trails are grass covered and little used except by locals and hunters to the area. This is a good area to “stay on the trails” because the lack of rain makes the area vulnerable to damage.

Black Hills National Forest map
The Black Hills have great ATV trails and Forest Service roads. I have traveled most of them. Our forest service roads are either road-like or trail-like. On my Favorite Rides pages, I have highlighted the many TRAIL-LIKE Forest Service Roads and the ATV trails.
I put this website together to help others enjoy their ATV visit to South Dakota. When I ATV out of my state, I realize how difficult it is to plan a three day ride without good information. I hope my website will be good information for you.
