Cairn Trail
The Cairn Trail is the newest trail in Custer State Park and it takes you above the Coolidge General Store and gives you a bird’s eye view of the surrounding area. The trail is a shorter trail but it does go up for quite a bit until you get to the top. The trail is a good one for the kids if you want them to get exercise. When doing the trail we continued to the top to get a better view and then came back down to continue the trail. The Cairn trail this year (2021) is part of the trail summer challenge.
