Note: Falls Area Single Track (FAST) is launching a campaign to build a new single track loop in eastern Sioux Falls. Go to their site to support the cause!

This guide is currently an early version. As the summer progresses more maps/detail will be included.

Sioux Falls isn’t the first place most mountain bikers consider for a great ride, however challenging rides abound in the area. From the steep up and down of Newton Hills to the smooth sailing of the Sioux Falls Bike Trail, there are rides for all skill levels in the area.

This guide serves as a starting point for both new and experienced riders in the area looking for the best mountain biking in eastern South Dakota. ‘In The Expanse’ provides in depth detail on each trail in the Sioux Empire, and gives you some insight that only comes with riding the trails.
