Bison Trail/Red Dog Trail
The Bison Trail/Red Dog Trail is the newest trail in Custer State Park and it is behind the Bison Center off Wildlife Loop Road. The sign splits the trail up in two sections - The Red Dog Trail and the Bison Trail. The sign says the total length to do the two trails is 2 miles and takes about 2 to 4 hours. Both trails are in a loop and can be done together. We did the trail in about 35 minutes and it was only .75 of a mile total, so not sure where the extra mileage is. This trail is also part of the summer and winter challenges for Custer State Park. This trail was pretty nice and had lots of different wildflowers and gorgeous open blue skies.
