Mickelson Trail Hosts Trolley on the Trail Events
South Dakota Ag Connection - 06/26/2019

South Dakota Game, Fish, and Parks will host one of several Trolley on the Trail events July 2. The event uses a trolley to give people with impaired mobility the opportunity to enjoy the beauties of South Dakota's George S. Mickelson Trail.

The trolley leaves the Deadwood Trailhead at 1 p.m. MDT and tours the Mickelson Trail from Englewood to Rochford. To reserve a spot on the tour, call 605.578.1401.

"Trolley rides are an excellent way for people with physical limitations to get out and experience the Mickelson Trail," said Dana Garry-Reiprich, park manager. "Everyone has a wonderful time and learns a little about the trail."

Reservations are required. Each person reserving a space on the trolley will be required to have a handicapped parking permit. One assistant is allowed to accompany the person, if needed. The trolley has space available for up to two people who use wheelchairs.

Trolley on the Trail events will be held in July and September. Upcoming dates include July 2 and 10 and Sept. 3 and 10.

The July 2 and Sept. 3 rides leave from Deadwood. Call Neighborhood Housing at 605.578.1401 to reserve a spot. Trolley rides on July 10 and Sept. 11 leave from Hill City. Call the Hill City Chamber at 1-800-888-1798 to sign up.

The trolley rides are a combined effort of the Hill City and Deadwood Chambers of Commerce, Neighborhood Housing, South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Department and the City of Deadwood.
