We rode from Yankton Park and went the opposite direction of the Falls Park and so glad we did. There is some trail detours as they are working on sections which did create a little confusion but the app helped. I would also say that there are asphalt trails which we all know end up with cracks to contend with. This is the route to take so as you get to the switchbacks prior to Falls Park it is down hill and a fun ride. The rest of the trail was awesome, more sunny than shaded but would definitely recommend as worth your time. It’s like a sightseeing trail with golf courses and zoos and tons of parks.
We took the trail from the town of Custer south to Pringle (about 12 miles). It was very picturesque and the trail was in great shape. The trail is entirely in the sun in this section and has a downward grade a lot of the way. Our trip back would have been challenging had we not been on e-bikes! We stopped for burgers in Pringle at the Hitch Rail bar & grill. They were great!
This is the back bone of Sioux Falls ¿ Plus falls park. Lol Had a family ride enjoyed it very much Other than it was a hot day Easy ride if you go the right direction One hill and it’s not all that bad Seen lots of wild life along the river You ride all the way around town but you really don’t seen much of it which to me make it very nice Nice rest areas with water
We’re from TN. Rode Sept 17, 24. Deadwood Trailhead is open. This site says it’s closed. Rode 25 miles South. Saw beautiful colorful Aspens with Momma & baby Elk. After climbing the ridge outside of Deadwood it became a beautiful trail. Wished we could’ve ridden more.
Beautiful scenery and wildlife and so well maintained! Friendly people all along the way. Excellent trailheads with water, bike tools, air! I only saw one review commenting on the hills. There really is no flat according to our elevation record on Strava. It is either a looooong uphill or a loooong downhill. Even though the hills are only 4% grade, 10 miles of that gets old. My husband and I are 64 & 62, no e-bikes, thank you and riding loaded. We ride 40 miles twice a week up and down hills usually with a headwind, but the ride from Custer to Deadwood was pretty taxing for us. We would do it again but probably do the whole trail and take 3 days. trip from
Rode the entire trail from Edgemont to Deadwood over two days. The scenery was spectacular. Every last foot of the trail surface was smooth and even; I cannot heap enough praise on the State Parks Department for the job that they do in maintaining the trail and trailheads.
Completed in three days. Started in Deadwood, ended in Edgemont.
Rode 24 total miles from the start in Deadwood. There was a total of 1550 feet of elevation gain. A few miles from town there is an option to go left or right. I took left on the way out and came back the other trail. The left option is definitely more remote but has some sections with 9+% grade. I did not really have the right gears and couldn’t stand up without losing traction. The other trail does not seem to have as steep gradients. I have 42c tires running tubeless with pressure in the mid 30s. I have a 1x setup with 36t chainring and a 44t largest cog.
Rode 36 miles RT from our HipCamp to Crazy Horse. 1,000 ft increase in elevation in the 18 mi out portion. Beautiful views between Custer and Crazy Horse
This is one of the best trails ever! We stayed at a B & B, Bishop Mountain Rental, which is right off the trailhead in Hill City! Enjoyed the ride so much!
