| George S. Mickelson Trail
Imagine a path where the
ghosts of Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane still roam. A path where bicyclists, hikers
and horseback riders can explore spruce and ponderosa pine forests. And, a path accessible
to the
very young, the very old and people of all abilities. |

The George S. Mickelson Trail,
in the
heart of the beautiful Black Hills, was completed in September of 1998. Its gentle slopes and easy access allow people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the beauty of the Black Hills. There are
more than 100 converted railroad bridges and four hard rock tunnels along the trail. Much
of the trail passes through National Forest Land, but there are parts of the trail that
pass through privately owned land, where trail use is restricted to the trail only. It is
vital to the future of the trail that users respect the land and others on the trail. |

Please note, there is no water available along the Mickelson Trail
until Spring. Please carry your own water when using the trail. |
