Hartman Creek Singletrack

Dogs Leashed

E-Bikes Allowed

Features Downhill · Technical

The Pipestone region east of Butte and west of Whitehall is primarily a motorized recreation area managed by both BLM and the USFS. While officially there is non-motorized singletrack, the reality is that dirt bikes will ride every trail here, including making their own. Mountain Biking can still be a rewarding activity here, especially in the early spring and late fall when other areas have snow cover. The network and variety of trails is vast, so it is best to bring GPS, a riding plan, and plenty of gear for mechanicals and body refueling. There are many trails that are sandy, rocky and steep, so riding times may be longer than you expect, and the trails at lower elevations generally have few trees so expect to have little shade.

There are many official trailheads in the area, many along the main Lake Delmoe Rd, and most of these trailheads have a bathroom. You can also park just off the side of the road or trail, and this is possible in many locations.

Moto-centric trail which travels through a hilly forested area, this trail is best ridden as a downhill. It has both smooth fast sections and rocky technical sections. Being primarily a dirt bike trail, there are some random route choices that wouldn't "make sense" to non-motorized users such as going up short steep slopes, but it does make it interesting and keeps you on your toes.

Access from the top via Suicide Cabin #8641. Comes out near Hartman Creek Rd which comes off the Main Delmoe Rd.
