Mickelson Hiking & Biking Trail
Once you catch up on your relaxing at Newton Fork Ranch, you are ready
to enjoy the surrounding area, which abounds with recreational pursuits.
We are conveniently located adjacent to the George S. Mickelson Trail.
Over a hundred years ago, the old Cheyenne to Deadwood stage ran through
Newton Fork Ranch. Later, the Burlington Northern Railroad took its
place heading up to Deadwood and the Homestake Gold Mine in Lead.
Now, the abandoned railroad tracks have been turned into a popular
hiking and biking trail that stretches 109 miles from Deadwood in
the north to Edgemont in the south. One can explore the Black Hills
on foot, bicycle, horseback, and in winter, on cross county skis and
snowshoes. A gate on the property, installed for the exclusive use
of our guests, opens directly onto the Mickelson Trail.
