Black Hills National Forest
The Black Hills is a paradise for ATV riders and UTV riders, spider-webbed with trails within the 1.2 million acres of pristine wilderness that includes lush forests, beautiful mountains, rolling hills and deep canyons, all providing stunning scenic views for beginning to expert.
21 trailheads each offer their own advantages with a wide variety of terrains that make for some of the best ATV trails South Dakota has to offer. For example, Ditch Creek has a mix of open meadows, thick aspen, dense spruce, and high mountain streams; Bear Mountain, the third highest mountain in the Black Hills, is ideal for a leisurely ATV ride through beautiful aspen groves; and Hell Creek takes you through draws and gullies with a mixture of grass and beautiful prairie trails, mixed with some rocky trails.
