About this campground
The Newton Trail System is just west of Hill City about 5 miles nestled between Deerfield Road and Reno Gulch Road. The 50 miles of trail is predominantly designed for OHV use, but there is one motorcycle trail that will challenge you. This trail system is wider and faster than others in the area, and will provide amazing views of Black Elk Peak and the surrounding area. It is not uncommon to see elk and the occasional mountain lion in the area as well. To access the Newton Trails, travel north out of Hill City on Deerfield Road for 7.7 miles. Turn south (left) onto Newton Fork Road, and continue for 1 mile. Trailhead construction is not complete, but parking is allowed alongside Newton Fork Road. Most of the trails in this system are open May 15 – December 15.
