Ditch Creek 04 is a short, rough dirt connector trail between William's Draw and Ditch Creek Road. It can be accessed from either road near their intersections with Deerfield Road. It is open year-round and requires a Black Hills Trail Permit. This trail offers views of the Black Hills National Forest and is a common area where elk can be found. Ditch Creek 04 is suitable for any stock 4x4 vehicle or AWD vehicle with moderate clearance. Users should expect rough dirt, with small ruts and embedded rock. Ditch Creek 04 is just north of the similar connector, Ditch Creek 08.
There are some small clearings on the sides of Ditch Creek 04 which would allow tent or vehicle based camping. Open campfires are not allowed in the Black Hills National Forest. Larger rigs or groups should consider the Ditch Creek Campground off Ditch Creek Road.
