Flume trail for beginners full#

The trail starts at the north end of the parking lot on the east side of the lake. Continue to the Bluewing recreation area and park (large parking lot). Once at the camping spot let the person at the booth know you are hiking the Flume trail (that way you will not have to pay to enter the area). Start at Sheridan Lake - To get there you need to enter the lake from the south side and head towards the Sheridan Lake South Shore camping area which goes to the left. The rocks on your feet can also be a lot so wear good sturdy shoes.Ģ. Watch out for rattlesnakes and trail cave ins (flume trail is old). The whole trail is around 5 miles I think and it is pretty easy and beautiful. (The beginning of the bike trail is sometimes wet for the 1st 100 feet- just stick with it - it gets nice).

This trail will get you back to the Coon Hollow parking lot and it gives you a full circle. I usually turn around here and go back and return on the biking trail that now will be on your right once you cross over the road (Storm Mountain Rd) again. Once it starts going down into the trees and veers to the left and off of the flume, the trail gets kind of small and its not as nice (you'll know when since it is no longer following the flume). If you keep going it is pretty neat and continues on following the flume. The trail is easy and flat for 95 percent of the time and follows the flume. You can follow this trail until it hits the road (Storm Mountain Rd) and then either turn around, hit the bike riding trail that goes back around to the left, or keep going. The trail runs to the east and is marked as trail 50.

You take Silver Mountain Rd which is just west of Rockerville for 1/4 of a mile and park at the Coon Hollow Parking lot. Start at Coon Hollow off of S Highway 16 just west of Rapid City. To get to the Flume trail you start at several locations - These are my 3 recommendations -ġ.
