Homestake Trail

Homestake Trail is a 5.7 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail which offers outdoor enthusiasts a fair amount of everything and connects the historic cities of Deadwood and Lead. From incredible sights, to the feel of being in the back-country, one traverse on this trail will never be enough. This trail offers the chance to see wildlife and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from April until October.

 On any single excursion, you can encounter any animal common to the Black Hills.  Deer, snakes, mountain lions, squirrels – all are a possibility. Parts of the trail wind through rock walls, and naturally, rocks end up on the trail. The trail was dedicated on September 9th, 2017.
