BLM #10

Dogs Unknown

E-Bikes Allowed

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.

BLM #1 is a sandy doubletrack trail typical of the Pipestone region. This trail is best ridden heading East, as this will provide a short fun downhill with some sweeping corners, just be careful of loose sand. The ATV traffic make ruts that often makes the corners banked.

Access to the Western end of the trail is via FS-173 which is very close to the Four Corners Parking Lot, one of the biggest and most popular lots in Pipestone.

The Western end finishes at a junction with doubletrack trail BLM #8 and singletrack trail BLM #9.
