This ride passes through a landscape of small rolling hills, wetlands, and abundant pothole lakes in northeastern South Dakota. The area is rich with cultural history and also offers excellent opportunity for wildlife viewing, especially birds and waterfowl. The majority of the route follows rural roads that are paved with very minor traffic. There are some small rolling hills but no major climbs or descents. Riders who want to add a little mileage can also take a side trip to Sica Hollow but this does require riding along gravel roads.
