This is the southernmost part of the 111-mile-long Centennial Trail that stretches across the state through the Black Hills and ends at Bear Butte State Park. This short section of trail traverses next to Beaver Creek and crosses the open prairie and stands of ponderosa pines. This is a great place to look for animals like prairie dogs, bison, pronghorns, mule deer, and coyotes. You can also frequently see raptors, grouse, and songbirds in this area.
