A "black" trail for experienced riders. Both trailheads start with steep downhill sections that you'll have to climb back up This is the newest trail in the area that still needs some work to smooth out for better flow. Trail tread on the Missouri River bluffs is generally 12"-18" wide and new in the fall of 2019. Gorgeous views of Lake Oahe are always in sight from the trail.

Access Info

Both trailhead access points are accessable from the parking area.
