If you like history the Redfern area is full of this. You may have to get off the ATV to see some of it – but a short walk will take you to some good sightseeing areas. Ride through an old mining district. Enjoy seeing remnants of that industry.
RALLY with us at the STURGIS OFFROAD RALLY.

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.
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.
