A very well maintained trail. Started at the Burlington entrance. Plenty of parking. Enjoyed the ride past scenic views of "America's Dairyland "...Although trail is described as flat, there is an elevation as you head toward Elkorn. Nothing major,but I thought I'd add that. Nice canopy over much of the trail. Very nice on hot weather days. This trail does have a moderate amount of traffic, so the " Good Morning" greetings are a pleasant welcome. There are nine bridges and four to five roads to cross, but all are very well marked. Overall, a very enjoyable ride.

Rode this trail a couple of times and found it very enjoyable. Nice and flat. The depot in Springfield is a great spot to take a break since it is about the mid point of the trail. I do suggest that you make sure you have enough water with you since there are only 2 spots where you can buy water or a cold drink if you choose.

The trail is very nice and easy for the whole family. Trail stops outside of Elkhorn and Burlington, and on the trail water is only available in the two small towns in the middle so bing a full bottle.

"We rode from Elkhorn to Burlington and back in the late afternoon of an August day. There are enough trees to make it a nice ride. Need to keep an eye out for the gopher holes on the trail. We noticed a restaurant, the Old Hotel in Lyons and drove back there for an enjoyable dinner. We were surprised the trail does not go into Elkhorn or Burlington... merchants in those town are missing out on some business."

There is an old depot that has bike rentals and snacks.
Great place to stop...1/2 way between Burlington and Elkhorn. This trail is 5 minutes north of Lake Geneva.

"The rest of the trail from Lyons east to the county line has been finished, and it is very nice, though there is no parking at the eastern end yet. I park at Lyons and ride to Elkhorn, then it's more downhill on the way back. There is very nice scenery, with a real European feel in spots.
The surface is mostly good, except in a few bits where a yellowish stone was used, some caution is advised in those places. There are bars, restaurants, and a gas station-convenience store in Lyons."
