The city of Superior tried to create a trail, but it appears to have abandoned the effort. I rode from the Bong Museum to the Tri County Corridor. This is a trail in need of some major repair work. There were weeds two feet tall growing through the pavement in many places. The bridges had 4 inch cliffs to overcome at the approaches. When I got to the boat landing, fish cleaning location by the old ore dock, it became apparent that this was an ATV trail that accidentally had some pavement next to it. The ATV trail actually had fewer weeds than the paved portion. Calling this a rail trail suitable for biking is an affront to all those who do rail trails properly. I have ridden on trails elsewhere in Wisconsin with ATV trails along side of a paved bike/hiking trail and they, while not pleasant to ride were acceptable. This trail has been trashed and the biking/hiking part of the trail should be abandoned until they want to do it right.
