From here you can take a short detour into Medora, North Dakota, the only town of any size you'll find along the trail. Whether you're running short on supplies or just want a nice cooked meal you can find it here. Also, if you are having any trouble with your bike Dakota Cyclery has everything you need from advice, to components, to maps, and shuttle service for the Maah Daah Hey Trail.

Hiking
This junction marks the starting point of a short trail that leads into Medora, a tiny but iconic town nestled in the Badlands, and is the gateway to the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Founded in 1883 by French nobleman Marquis de Mores and named after his wife, Medora blends Old West charm with outdoor adventure, history, and culture. Today, it’s best known for the Medora Musical, pitchfork steak dinners, and its deep ties to Theodore Roosevelt’s legacy.
