Vanocker Trailhead

The Vanocker Trailhead is part of the Sturgis trail system and located approximately three miles south of Sturgis, SD. Note: The trailhead has not been constructed yet, but as funding makes itself available it will be completed. The public may currently park at this location even though the trailhead is not defined. 

The Sturgis trail system forms a multiple-loop trail network in Vanocker Canyon, Deadman Mountain and Veteran’s Peak south of Sturgis. The trail network links into trails previously constructed by Black Hills Trails on City of Sturgis property around the Sturgis Reservoirs and into the existing Centennial trail, which is administered by the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management.

This trail is open to hikers, runners, mountain bikers and horseback riders.
