Some Black Hills trails are just fun to ride. These trails are in a location or navigate an area that helps the rider get close to the beauty of the Black Hills natural environment. Majestic trees, flowing waters, rocky outcrops, and hidden treasures are what makes a Black Hills ATV ride worth the effort. And if you get your fun from more challenging trails, the Merritt ATV 62″ Trails System is accessed by this trailhead.
