The forest surrounding the city of Custer has become a very popular destination for ATV and off-roading enthusiasts.

However, off-roading has been restricted in the Black Hills National Forest to help curb the damage and wildlife disturbance created by these types of vehicles.

You can find open ATV and Off-Road Maps at the Custer City Chamber of Commerce, located on Mt. Rushmore Road in Custer.

Things to Remember about Off-Roading
