Honestly I have never ridden that trail,and never will.The land there is gumbo which turns to absolute shit if it rains.It is also a barron rattle snake infested hell hole devoid of trees and other hospitable vegetation.Can you say,Cactus induced flats all around!Did I mention the wether yet?Summer riding will be VERY hot,dry,dusty,boring and,insane.Winter riding is,well out of the question.Spring and fall there last no more than 24 hours each.

Take hwy 34 west out of Pierre till you get to a sign saying you are entering Rapid City,hook up with some locals at the LBS and ride some real trails.

The LeFramboise island trails are as good as they get here.Might try riding the Lewis and Clark trail from Pierre to Farm Island.

I'm sorry the person above must take time to review a trail that they have never been on and have the nerve to review it poorly based on no first hand information. I believe I was honest about how poor the weather could be by saying it can get hot in the summer months (Bring lots of water) and I stated there are no trees. Anyone who knows SD knows the weather in the center of the state can get really bad in the summer time. Just go early or late in the afternoons and enjoy being outside. Yes the land is gumbo, however, as noted this year...we don't get much rain so the number of days that that trail can be ridden is higher then you may think. As for the cactus and rattel snakes...I have ridden this trail more then 15 times over the last two years and have yet to see a rattel snake and if I had...so...I don't plan to pick them up, just ride around them. As for the cactus, again I have never popped a tire...there are very few if any cactus on the trail. If you ride off trail you will probably have a problem. No there are no trees and it is not like the islands around Pierre or the Black Hills so it may not be for you. It is however, a great way to see the Prairies of SD and overlook the Missouri and Cheyenne Rivers.
