Desc: The 11-mile historic Flume Trail takes you back in time to the mining boom of the 1880s. The Rockerville Flume carried water 20 miles, from Spring Creek west of present day Sheridan Lake, east to the placer diggings near Rockerville. The trail follows the actual flume bed for much of its length. Along the way youll see historic artifacts and parts of the flume itself. Because of these fragile artifacts, this is a hikers only trail.
Special features along the trail include:
* Spring Creek Canyon, a scenic walk-in fishery just below Sheridan Lake Dam
* Two flume tunnels about a half-mile below the dam
* Spring Creek Loop, a three-mile circle route on the north end of the trail
* Boulder Hill, a high rocky vista with spectacular views of the eastern Black Hills, plains and Badlands.

From Rapid City take I 90.

Desc: The Lewis + Clark Bicentennial Trail located along the Missouri River in Pierre and Fort Pierre, South Dakota, is a trail system that links over 30 miles of trails with nearly 50 historic, cultural, and recreational sites. The dramatic changes of scenery range from urban waterfront, dense woodlands, river bottom cattails and flowers, meadow grasses, and open prairie vistas surrounded by craggy bluffs. Lewis + Clark camped here, Scotty Philips saved the buffalo from extinction near here, eagles winter here, families play here, and most of the state’s record fish in a multitude of species have been caught right along the trail.
