2 thumbs up for the Red Cedar trail! Not crowded, well-kept and scenic.

If it weren't for the ATV's and dirt bikes tearing around, this would be a frequent stop for our family. No peace, no quiet, and arrogant "motorized recreation" people in a hurry to race to the Cheese County trail. Forget it unless you ride something that belches fumes.
Omaha Trail
One of the good ones..

We ride this trail numerous times every year. A season pass is only $5.00! Yes the surface has to put up with snow machines, but I have always been very impressed with the way the county takes care of this trail. Every time I go there, there's more work being done and limbs cleared etc. Always lots of critters around, too. The Hustle Inn in Hustler always seems to have a hot batch of brats in a slow cooker and lots of ice cream. At Camp Douglas, you can grab a sub and take it up to the cave park (about 7 miles one way) and eat lunch. I love this trail.

Don't use this trail unless you're 4 wheeling, because the surface isn't ridable with a bicycle, and not enjoyable at all because of the dust and gas fumes, especially on weekends. The other posts are right on. This shouldn't be categorized as a multi use trail.

After hanging out at the Wisconsin Dells Riverfest kayak races all morning, we decided to head over to Reedsburg to ride the 400 Bike Trail to LaValle and back(approx 16 miles). Usually, it's still too wet this time of year for comfortable riding, but it has been extremely dry lately, so we gave it a shot. Glad we did, it was great riding. Our old friends, a pair of nesting Eagles, were sitting on eggs in a rebuilt nest, and we found a crane nesting just 20 or so feet off the trail! We were careful not to stress her out. The first wildflowers were starting to rock out, but it's still too early for the Trilliums & such. The grocery store/butcher shop in LaValle has a nifty little ice cream shop for replenishing your energy for the trip back to Reedsburg.
