Blacktail Ridge

Dogs Leashed

E-Bikes Not Allowed

lacktail Ridge is a fun and undulating adventure along a broad ridge where you may catch the odd glimpse of the Highland Mountains poking out between the trees. The trail connects Blacktail Ridge Loop with the Beaver Ponds Trail, and the fact that it doesn't have its own trailhead means that it sees little use compared to other trails in the area.

The trail is mostly packed granite sand surface, with the occasional technical rock feature to challenge intermediate riders.

Options for riding this trail as part of a loop include using the CDT - Pipestone to Homestake, the Milwaukee Road and Blacktail Loop Trail.

In the summer of 2024 there was a fire that burnt part of the trail.
