Biking
There are hundreds of miles of trails and roads accessible by bike on the Black Hills National Forest. Roads that wind through the forest are ideal for cycling and trails take riders on an exploratory journey. Always wear your helmet and gloves, and for safety, ride with a buddy. Carry basic tools—wrenches, screwdriver, chain breaker, pump, patch kit and spare tube. Note: Bikes are not permitted within the Black Elk Wilderness area.
