Last Known Status

Open

Open year-round (weather permitting), this large area has about 75 miles of smooth and fast trails. The Pipestone Trailhead has plenty of turnaround room for large trailers and although camping is permitted, traffic noise from the interstate can be heard.

The Four Corners Trailhead is the preferred location for camping and it has loading ramps, a restroom and ample room for large trailers. Also check out the "Ringing Rocks", a large formation of boulders that emit a bell like tone when struck with a hammer or another rock.
