Pine Ridge Ranger District Motorized Roads
Highline Road (FS718), approximate public forest road reference, Chadron area, NE
About this trail
The Pine Ridge Ranger District of Nebraska National Forest has designated motorized roads among its grasslands, ponderosa pine hills and canyons. Use the Forest Service’s 2020 Motor Vehicle Use Map together with its 2026 supplement, which changes some trail widths and road designations. Full-size vehicles must remain on roads that allow them; 50-inch and 62-inch trails are not Jeep routes. The pin is an approximate reference on a mapped all-vehicle section of Highline Road, FS718, near Chadron. It replaces the old source pin near the Nebraska–South Dakota border and is not a trailhead. Respect private and state land, posted restrictions and non-motorized trails, including the Pine Ridge National Recreation Area and Soldier Creek Wilderness. The original photograph shows a historical group outing, not permission to drive across grassland.
