The Trailshead Snowmobile Trailhead is the epicenter of snowmobiling in the Black Hills. There are nearly ten trails to choose from within a few miles of the trailhead. Those trails extend west into Wyoming, north to Deadwood, and south to Bear Mountain - providing an incredible amount of variety to riders. The trailhead is privately owned so respect private property by remaining on roads, parking lots, and trails, and packing out what you packed in.
