My Husband and I are planning to ride the Mickelson this May (26 - 29) and I heard that they don’t turn the water on at the rest stops until June 1st. Is that True?

I'm hoping somebody will answer the water question. I am planning early May

I just talked to the Trail Office in Deadwood today (5/16) and she said the water should be on now.

Rode from Edgemont to Hill City today and all of the pumps I stopped at were working - Pringle, Mountain, Harbach Park (Custer), and Tracy Park (Hill City). Riding into Deadwood tomorrow and then back to Edgemont 5/21-5/22. I’ll update on the northern taps tomorrow. Southern portion of the trail is in good shape, though heavy rain forecast for the next couple of days.

All pumps working on the northern section, too. Trail is in good shape. Enjoy.

There is no "turning the water on" option. They are all cisterns that are replenished by the trail administrators. Every cistern we encountered in mid-August had plenty of water
