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 bunch of older 82″ trails. Get access to lakes, historic mines and flowing creeks.

A unique feature that is the highlight of the ride is the overlook at Sandstone Ridge. Other overlook are the Victoria Creek Overlook and Victoria Overlook.
