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.

The Hell Canyon area trails are unique in that they travel “legally” through draws and gullies. It could be that this area get so little rain that even the areas that anywhere else would be considered pristine can be traveled.

To explore the Black Hills National Forest or ride the Mickelson Trail, Deadwood Outdoor Rentals is your perfect destination.

Limestone outcrops tower to the side and above you. Grass covered trails are common. This is a place best visited on a cooler day.

One somewhat hidden benefit of limestone outcrops are the “arches.” There are also some nice water crossings.

Water features here include Alkali Creek, Alkali Diversion Well, and Bear Spring.
