About this place

The Carson Draw Trail System is a four-season, non-motorized system of trails that wind through Carson Draw. From spring to fall, the trails are busy with hikers, mountain bikers, and horse riders. They are "off the beaten path" and offer solitude to those searching for a more primitive trail experience. Users may find that these trails are much like the Sundance Trail System in their beauty and serenity and offer an even greater level of solitude. Pine, aspen, and oak stands surround the trails and provide diverse habitats for the abundant wildlife in the area.Parts of the trail system have existed since the 1800s. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, miners and homesteaders made their way into the Bearlodge Mountains and settled. This trail system is named for one of those families, the Carsons.
