We rode the trail from Clyman Junction to Burnett on 9/19/09. A few miles in, we noticed hunters in their blaze orange in the field on the west side of the trail. Not thinking much of it we continued. On our return trip, a blast was fired over our heads and buckshot and leaves rained down on us. Again, we saw the hunters clearly and don't understand how they could not know a bike trail was there. This was not at the rifle range which was a couple miles south. That range was plenty busy with lots of gunfire, but it was behind a cement wall. Aside from that, the trail south from Juneau was wonderful. Very secluded and scenic!

The trail in Fond du lac many ditches that have filled in over the years and they are flooding the trail. One section by Highbridge Road north of Oakfield has been very bad for years. Also between Willow Road and the Hwy 151 tunnel ditches have fill in and can be muddy. They think putting down more stone will raise the trail and stop the trail flooding?

In August, 2008 I planned to bicycle from the Juneau city park (very nice park) to Marsh Nature Center located on highway 49. A couple of miles before reaching highway 49 the trail dead ended. One can see where the trail once continued but now that continuation has grass growing 3 feet high and a sign says "trail closed". I turned around and returned to Juneau. On my return to Juneau a local told me that I could have bypassed the closed trail section by using county roads. It is unfortunate that there was no sign where the trail ended to tell how to bypass using the county roads. This is a nice trail but in need of some maintenance to clear the short grass growing on the trail mileage I rode.

Rode the Wild Goose trail in mid August 06. Started ride
at the Horicon Marsh parking area near Waupun. Went north
to Oakfield first then south to Juneau. North third of trail is wide and smooth riding. South two thirds of trail becomes narrow and grass overgrowth along the trail. Overall I did enjoy the ride and will ride the trail again in 07. The park and rest area
in Juneau would also make a good starting point. There is
nice towns along the way to buy water and food. I ended
up with 50 miles total for the day. This trail can go on your list of trails to ride.

"My husband and I biked this trail in July, 2005. The trail was generally in good biking condition with a few gopher holes to watch out for. The trail is canopied by beautiful mature trees making it a great ride on a hot summer day. We were not able to find any food options along the trail except in Fond du Lac. Taking a side trip into the Horicon Marsh adds to the beauty and uniqueness of this trail. There was a section of the trail that either was never completed, or the land owners no longer allow the trail to be maintained. The signage for the ""detour"" around this section should be improved. We saw lots of wildlife on the trail including turkey and herons. In the fall, during the migration, the view of the marsh and the geese would be fantastic."

"I rode this trail in early September. The trail has a crushed gravel surface, that while firm, has grass growing in the center in many areas and a few large gopher holes that can surprise you.

There is one short section of this trail that isn't completed. Coming from the south there is no signage that directs you where to go. You have to turn left and ride the road to the first right which brings you back to the trail. Coming from the North there are signs to direct you.

The Horicon Wildlife Refuge is a nice side trip on the trail. The 4 mile loop is an easy ride and provides an easily accessible restroom.

This trail would be helped by some signage at the kiosks directing you to restaurants and restrooms."
