Jamestown’s newest trail! Located on the east side of the Jamestown Reservoir, this little loop has scenic views over the Jamestown Reservoir and Little Britches Fishing Pond.

This nature trail stretches 5 miles along the north edge of Pipestem Lake, winding over rolling prairie with a view of the lake and woodlands. This is an easier trail than the Pipestem Creek Trail, but still unpaved. Enter this trail on the east side of Pipestem Dam, north of the office.

Take the outer circle of this challenging scenic unpaved trail for 3 miles, or really get your heart pumping by completing the full 8 miles. The trail begins at the east side of the Pipestem Dam, south of the office. This is the trail used in several races in the area including the Gear Grinder Mountain Bike Race. This trail is equipped with a bike repair station.

This challenging trail begins at the Veteran’s Memorial Bridge in McElroy Park and leads you along the James River, behind the summer pasture where the bison herd roams, and circles the North Dakota State Hospital grounds.
