Ride Responsibly - Information from Black Hills National Forest
Trail Navigation Made Easy: You are responsible to know where you can ride in the Forest. Download Motorized Vehicle Use (Trail) Maps to your Smartphone using the "Avenza" App. Maps show Open Roads, Restrictions and Seasonal Wildlife Closures.
Act Responsibly: Close all gates that you open, and do not chase or harass livestock or wildlife. Help ensure that fences, water tanks, restrooms, historic buildings and lookout towers are not damaged.
For Your Safety: Be aware of, and stay clear of, logging activities, log truck traffic, mines and mining activities.
Help Stop the Spread of Weeds: Stay on designated routes. Wash your vehicle after use to remove non-native weeds and their seeds, so they are not spread by your vehicle.
Protect Our Roads and Trails: To prevent erosion and damage to raods & trails, avoid wet surfaces. Do not drive through wetlands or stock ponds. If you encounter a wet area, or stream crossing, drive slowly thru it. Do not make a new route around it.
