Trail Overview

Mud Springs Road is a scenic route that runs North/South from Custer Limestone road to US Highway 16 just West of Jewel Cave National Monument. This does take you through cattle grazing areas so expect to see some cattle on or just off the road in the spring/summer. On the South portion of the road the land is somewhat barren due to a fire that was in the area in recent years.
