The Lewis and Clark Trail in Bismarck is one of the area's most popular outdoor treks for road bikers. It stretches 87 miles from Bismarck to Pick City. Cyclists enjoy this well-maintained recreational trail that features a moderate degree of difficulty. The elevation gain is minimal, so that assures a somewhat comfortable ride for those who choose to experience part of the trail, but for those making the full trip, stamina and focus along physical agility are most definitely required.
