3 Best Jogging trails in South Dakota

Posted on December 16, 2019December 16, 2019 by Katie

Running is an underrated sport. Most people view it as just tiresome cardio or a waste of time. When in fact, running is the most basic and fundamental sport out there for the majority of the people. It can be fun in terms of the little details such as the cool breeze, the stunning view, the adrenaline of picking up your pace, and the feeling of running with the wind. 

And with running, you only need a few things, you, some light clothes, running shoes if possible, and a trail or road to run across. But sometimes the trail itself would ruin the way you run and discourage you from ever finishing the track. So here are the 3 Best Jogging trails in South Dakota to get you fully active and motivate you to run even further.

Black Elk Peak South Dakota Highpoint Trail 

The most popular trail this side of the Midwest, the Black Elk Peak Trail is a 7.6 mile stretch found near Custer, South Dakota and is considered a moderately difficult trail, which makes it the best for everyone either amateur or professional. And if you feel like running with your dog then that is also possible, just as long as you keep them leashed. 

The trail goes along the breathtaking Black Hills of South Dakota, and at the top is a historic stone firetower, which is no longer in use but can still be viewed by the public. And when you follow the trail, you will be greeted with jaw dropping granite towers coming out of the hills. 

Sunday Gulch Trail 

This isn’t your everyday, easy trail to just jog to. This trail has been rated as quite difficult for those who are not that experienced with running at all. So be careful when running through here and watch your pace. It is a 3.9 mile loop trail that is also located near Custer, South Dakota, and includes a view of a lake. And yes, you can bring your dogs as well, just be prepared to carry them sometimes due to the nature of the trail itself at some points. 

Mount Rushmore and Presidential Trail Loop 

Finally, for an even more famous trail, or more likely, famous landmark, the Mount Rushmore and Presidential Trail Loop is on this list of course. This loop is quite easy, so everyone can enjoy it without having too much trouble. It’s a 0.9 mile trail which makes it extremely short, and is near Keystone, South Dakota. 

Here, you’ll be able to see the ever so popular, Mount Rushmore, which is perfect for all tourists. Being able to run among the great Presidents would be a huge honor, so taking this trail is a must for everyone.
