BLM #11

Dogs Leashed

E-Bikes Allowed

Features Downhill

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.

BLM # 11 is a short motorized singletrack trail that parallels BLM #8 doubletrack trail. It is rideable on a mountain bike in the downhill direction, but uphill you'll have some trouble in a few places. Trail surface is mixed with a sand, rocks and roots.

Trail is most easily accessed from the Four Corners Parking Lot via BLM #10 doubletrack.
