(map showing approximate location of the ride, in the Black Hills)

The Black Hills National Forest calls them forest service roads, but some riders call them 82′ non-width restricted trails. Many of these forest service roads are trail-like!

These are the trails the wider machines can legally use. Some of these trails are open year-round. These are the trails that often take you into the mystery and history of the Black Hills.

There are over 3,000 miles of these forest service road, 82″ non-width restricted trail-like trails. These trails are numbered on the MVUM, with three digit numbers like 201 or 201 2A.

A great ride out of Custer South Dakota. Ride deep into the Black Hills in the area of old gold mines and a Forest Service fire tower.

RALLY with us at the STURGIS OFFROAD RALLY.

The Bear Mountain Fire Tower is a favorite destination. Trail 293 is an easy ride up, Trail 299. 1C/1K is a challenging ride up. 

Trails 284. 1F and 284 .1E although deadends, take you deep into the Black Hills National Forest.

Trail 297. 1F is a nice ride into a mining district. Old mining evidence is visible just off the trail. 

During your Bear Mountain Ride, keep an eye on the horizon for a glimpse of the Crazy Horse Monument.

You will find a number of historic mines, close to the trail. Watch for the D&R mine, Grand Junction mine, Hard Scrabble mine, North Star Gold mine, Sunset Lode mine, and Pine Tree mine.

Historic ghost towns found in this area include; Camp Custer Ghost Town and Sylvan City Ghost Town. A small amount of evidence remains at each.

If you look carefully, remnants of old cabins and buildings can be see. including the Tenderfoot Creek cabin. There is also some evidence that shows the location of the old Junction Ranger Station.

There are no width restriction trails on the Bear Mountain Ride.

Plenty of connecting rides are available including; the Ditch Creek ride, Jasper ride, Jewell ride, Castle Rock ride, Four Corners ride, and the Tigerville ride(see details below).
