This section of the Mickelson Trail is one of the longer stretches of the trail and starts the descent down onto the prairie. The alignment roughly follows SD-89 but deviates away from the highway multiple times providing a bit more of a remote feeling.
There is a per person user fee for the Mickelson Trail with passes available at all trail heads.
Access Info
Park at either the Pringle Trail Head located near the town center on the west side of US-385 or at the Minnekahta Trail Head located 1/2 mile east of the intersection of SD-89 and US-18.
