Turkey Ridge (FR719) is an easy Forestry Road connecting Highway 16 to South Rockerville Road, just south of the town of Rockerville. It can be run either direction and is accessible from pavement on either end. Turkey Ridge is open year-long.
Turkey Ridge is just short of two miles long and is mostly rough dirt with some ruts and mild off-camber sections. Expect rocks no more than 12" tall. This road would be easily tackled by any 4x4 and most high-clearance SUVs. There are spots that may hold water and mud in wet seasons but are usually dry.
Pay attention to views of Black Elk Peak and the surrounding Black Hills. Deer and cattle are likely to be present. The foliage is mostly away from the road, but a few branches and limbs could drag along a vehicle if one were not paying attention.
