MOUNTAIN BIKING: Prairie Trail, Custer State Park

← SD WHITE RIVER WHITE RIVER SD Single Tracks →

Description

At the trailhead, head straight out. Once you hit the first fork, you may either <br />
go left or right, I recommend going right because you'll do less climbing. You <br />
will be climbing large rocks at the beginning and some areas are not rideable. <br />
No different than many trails in this mountain area. This trail is much like <br />
Centennial #89; rocky, big and steep climbs as well as fast descents, with your <br />
occasional creek crossing. Very scenic and worth the run. Much shorter than <br />
Centennial #89, this being 3 miles long. Keep distance from Buffalo.

Directions

From Custer, take Highway 16A east to Custer State Park. Maps are provided at <br /><br />the park entrance, entrance fee $15 for 7 days. Once in the park continue east <br /><br />on Highway 16A until you reach Highway 87, take 87 south until you reach the <br /><br />Wildlife Loop Road on your left which will have another entrance station (Blue <br /><br />Bell Entrance Station). Continue roughly 5 miles south on Wildlife Loop Road <br /><br />until you reach Prairie Trail. At the trailhead is a gravel parking area with a <br /><br />kiosk sign and a restroom.
