In partnership with FAST and IMBA Trail Solutions, the Great Trail Build project is turning Great Bear into a year-round recreation destination by adding 10+ miles of bike-optimized, shared-use trails, with the first 4 miles already complete.

Working in collaboration with Pete Costain of Terraflow Trails / Legacy Bike Park, Benchmark Trails designed and built the first phase of Deer Mountain Village’s natural-surface trail system—melding modern flow-trail design with the rugged character of the northern Black Hills.

Serving as the community’s new backbone for future singletrack. Its wide tread and flowing design create a natural ride that’s accessible to beginner mountain bikers, runners, and hikers alike.

A mile-long crushed stone walking path that connects various art installations, offering a reflective and peaceful experience to visitors.

Hand-built singletrack trails designed for experienced riders seeking a challenging and engaging mountain biking experience.

A premier downhill, bike-only trail known for its progressive jump features and wide user range, catering to everyone from novices to experienced riders.

At this sacred site, Benchmark Trails conducted erosion mitigation on the summit trail and constructed new staircases, enhancing both the sustainability and accessibility of the summit area.
