Ditch Creek Road is a year-round, well-maintained gravel and dirt road located off Deerfield Road just west of Deerfield Lake, about 20 miles west of Hill City. Ditch Creek Road provides access to several full-width and restricted-width trails, the Ditch Creek Campground, and stunning views of the Black Hills National Forest. A short walk from the main road up trail 6021 leads to an enterable retired silica mine. 6021 is restricted to vehicles under 62 inches in width. The Ditch Creek area is also well-known for elk viewing.
Ditch Creek Road can be traversed by most vehicles, as its most challenging terrain is gravel washboards with the occasional pothole. Ditch Creek Campground offers several dry RV-sized spots and tent locations with fire rings. A large parking area across from the campground provides adequate space for trailer parking and unloading. Ditch Creek Road also offers several suitable spaces for dispersed camping.
