About

Antelope Springs Trailhead is a motorized trail access point in the southern Black Hills, located about 32 miles northwest of Custer, South Dakota. Managed by Black Hills National Forest, this trailhead is used primarily for motorized vehicles and day-use motorized trail riders, making it a popular starting point for ATV and OHV recreation. The area offers access to longer trail routes through rolling hills, open prairie, and ponderosa pine forest, with terrain that ranges from moderate to difficult depending on the route chosen. A large parking area accommodates multiple trucks and trailers, making it convenient for riders hauling off-road vehicles. A trail permit is required, and maps and site information are available at the on-site bulletin board. With its rugged setting and direct access to southern Black Hills motorized trails, Antelope Springs Trailhead is a key launch point for off-road adventure.
