Tour Information

George S. Mickelson Trail

The 109 mile-long trail was originally the Burlington Northern Line. The railway stretches 109 miles, starting at Edgemont then winding through the Black Hills and ending in Deadwood. The railway was converted to a trail made of limestone and gravel. It’s gentle slopes allow the trail to be used by people of all ages and abilities. Throughout the Mickelson Trail there are 15 trail heads which offer parking, vault toilets, and tables. Along the trail you will pass over converted railroad bridges, make your way through rock tunnels, observe historic sites, abandoned mines and old cabins. Since the trail is extensive, you will be able to experience the many ecosystems that Black Hills offer, passing through the prairie, the National forest, and the meadows located in the higher hills. Have your camera ready in case you spot the wildlife roaming in these areas. The trail is not only open to bicyclists, but also hikers and horseback riders.

Safety Measures

George S. Mickelson Trail - Trail Safety

All wildlife can be dangerous. Stay on the trail for better safety.

Rattlesnakes

The prairie rattlesnake is found on the southern end of the trail, but is rarely found above 5,000 feet elevation. They can be found in a variety of habitats including rocky areas, grassland, and stream banks.

Mountain Lions

Be alert for wildlife at all times. If you encounter a lion up close, DO NOT RUN, maintain eye contact with the lion, talk and yell at it, gather children close to you, make yourself appear as large as possible, and become aggressive by throwing objects or waving sticks.

Cattle

As you travel the trail, you may see cattle nearby. Their grazing helps maintain meadows that are needed for wild animal habitat. If you come to an area where cattle are on the trail, DO NOT spook them, speak in a calm voice and slowly work your way around them.

Poison Ivy

Identified by its three pointed leaves that are typically shiny, in the spring and summer the leaves are green, changing to yellow and red in the fall. The oil on the plant can cause a severe rash when it comes in contact with human skin.

Horses and Pets

If you are traveling from a state other than South Dakota and intend to bring horses to ride on the trail or a pet to accompany you on the trail, please check with the South Dakota Animal Industry Board for important requirements, at or call 605-773-3321
