Trail Overview
Rhoads Fork is a Forest Service Road open to all, offering scenic views along an aspen-lined path before climbing a ridge to its designated endpoint at 44.073767, -103.904839. Although logging extends the road beyond this point, it is closed to motor vehicles. The trail provides wildflowers in season, dispersed camping spots, and excellent opportunities to enjoy fall colors. Visitors are reminded to pack out all trash, avoid muddy trails, go over obstacles instead of creating bypasses, and respect regulations prohibiting mud bogging and dispersed campfires. The Black Hills 4x4 community follows Tread Lightly! principles and encourages all users to do the same to help protect this area.
