    Mountain biking

    Absolutely worth a stop! Over 8 miles of single track trail that winds through the North Dakota prairie, and takes you over the top of the Black Butte. You do share the space with cattle and horses, so be aware of your surroundings. Trails are open to cycling, hiking and running. They also offer primitive camping, with water and electric hook up. The land is privately owned and they have a donation box at the gate to help with trail upkeep. This is one of the best trails in the area!

    Hiking

    Black Butte Trail travels through the privately owned 500 acres of rolling hills and prairie land that is Black Butte Adventures. As a prairie, the area has almost no tree coverage. The trail is also open to mountain bikers and it's not uncommon for grazing cattle to venture onto the trail, so watch out for cow pies.
