Where to ride in Davison County
Palace City Pedalers describes about 15 miles of single track around Lake Mitchell, an 8.5 mile paved city bike path, and a 2.63 mile wide gravel path from Lions Club Park along the railroad tracks to Highway 23.
The Mitchell Republic reported that the club had built between 12 and 13 miles of natural-surface singletrack on city land since October 2011, so the total depends on the date of the source.
eBike rules in South Dakota
South Dakota has three eBike classes, all limited to 750 watt motors. Class I and Class II stop assisting at 20 mph (Class II can run without pedaling), and Class III is pedal assist up to 28 mph. Class III riders must be 16 or older, and Class III riders under 18 and all Class III passengers must wear a helmet. Check local rules for licensing, registration, and insurance. See our South Dakota eBike laws guide for sources, then check posted signs.
The path rule is § 32-20B-12. Unless the governmental entity in charge says otherwise, you may ride a Class I or Class II on any bicycle path or multi-use path. A Class III is barred from those paths unless the path is within or next to a roadway or the entity expressly permits it, though a Class III may use a natural-surface trail designated non-motorized if the entity has not restricted it. The George S. Mickelson Trail is stricter. A 2025 law, Chapter 178, amended § 41-17-27 so that only a Class I eBike may use the trail; Class II and Class III are not exempted, and a violation is a Class 2 misdemeanor. Under § 32-20B-13, a Class III operator must be at least 16, though a younger child may ride as a passenger on a Class III built for one. A Class III also needs a working speedometer.
A helmet is required only on a Class III, for operators under 18 and for every passenger of any age (§ 32-20B-14). We found no statewide helmet rule for Class I or II, no eBike driver license, no registration, and no insurance requirement. On the road, a rider going slower than traffic keeps as close as practicable to the right edge (§ 32-20B-5), and a rider on a sidewalk has a pedestrian's duties and must yield and signal before passing. Cities, state parks, and federal land add their own rules. Read our South Dakota eBike laws guide, then check the sign at the trailhead.
