trailhead

Centralized access to the trail system eliminates the need to create new trail heads, trails and OHV ditch usage thereby eliminating unnecessary soil erosion and dust pollution. Top 50 Trailhead offers a mud bog area designed to allow motorized vehicle enthusiasts to enjoy the activity without destroying the designated trail system or public land.

Top 50 Trailhead leads visitors on a maintained trail under the highway and directly to the trail system. This eliminates injuries and deaths caused by blacktop and hard pack OHV usage, highway and private driveway crossings, and OHV ditch usage. The trailhead will also provide well lit loading and unloading areas to both single and multi-day visitors both motorized and non. Sewer and freshwater will be available on the property as well.

With over 2 acres of private land for public access and use, the Top 50 Trailhead serves as an education and training location for the National Guard, USFS, and other safety and safety equipment. Elementary through college students have a way to access and learn about the Black Hills first hand. Information on the Black Hills trail system, ecology, geography, and botany will be posted on site. Information on training courses, state and area attractions and South Dakota Department of Tourism maps will be available on site.

Please support the Top 50 Rally Park trailhead project! This trailhead will create a “gateway community” for the Piedmont area.
