This trailhead is close if you are atving out of Spearfish. It is a great trailhead to use in the fall because the area is abundant with fall colors. If you are exploring the gulches for color be sure to ride FS 626.1. If you are lucky the Wildlife Production Area gate will be open and you can ride it all the way to Higgens Gulch Road.
Spearfish Quarry is one of two open riding areas designated on the Blackhills National Forest. You can also ride South to the Iron Creek area and even West to the Wyoming border. But be ready for some dusty gravel road riding.
If you like to ride and hike this is a good location because some of the most cherished Blackhills hiking trails are found here.
RALLY with us at the STURGIS OFFROAD RALLY.
Watch for the popular Crow Peak.
Water features include Iron Creek, and Iron Creek Lake.
The Harrison-Badger-Trucano Game Production Area may provide you additional trails to ride.

Blackhills 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.
