This a great trail from 18.5 mile Plover to Scandinavia. It's straight and has a few long but not steep hills. Goes through a few small towns so there are places to grab a bite to eat or a drink along the way. Scandinavia has a nice place to eat a block from tha trail between the bridge and the Cennex gas station. I get a couple bottles of orange juice at the Cennex and head back to Plover. The trail actually starts in Plover behind the Copps grocery store.

"This is an easy trail to ride with it's compacted crushed limestone, and suitable for most any bike. I was riding my Scorpion Fx Trike.

I began my ride at Amherst Jnc. west to Plover. To get to Amherst Jnc. take Hwy Q, just on the other side of the Hwy 10 overpass, North off of Hwy B about 2 miles. There's a parking area just on the other side of the railroad tracks as your leaving Amherst Jnc.
Amherst Jnc. is a small village comprised mainly of a few houses, a tavern and bank. I found it easier to find a trail head here than in Plover.

I was expecting to find more shade along this trail, but instead found mostly open areas of sun while passing along side meadows and farm fields. The first 2-3 miles is mostly sun with very little shade, and after about 5 miles you'll run into some wooded areas which provide a nice relief. These shaded areas are a great place to take a break, and drink some water and have a piece of fruit.

I rode this trail to the very end where it connects with the Green Circle Trail Just on the other side of Hoover Ave. Between Kennedy Ave. and Hoover Ave the trail traverses along a fence line next to a railroad track. Just before you approach the Hwy 51-39 over pass the trail breaks up into limestone and sand for a short distance. Harder to ride, but doable. Be warned that this area is off limits if there spraying the neighboring field.
About half-way along the trail you'll cross over a Hwy, and in this area you'll find a tavern if your so inclined to stop and rest.
The majority of this trail feels like your either going up a slight grade, or down a grade. When going down you can build up some nice speed, and still the limestone is compacted enough to prevent slippage. But, use common sense when picking up speed on any loose surface.

I would highly recommend riding this trail in late September, or early October to avoid the heat. I did my ride on September 5th which was unusually hot. 92 degrees. Besides, the first part of the trail is lined with sumac, and it should be a brilliant red by then.

This trail is roughly 11 miles from Amherst Jnc. to Hoover Ave.

There are no restrooms along the trail except for a campground about a mile west of Amherst Jnc.

"I finally had a chance to bike this trail in September 2005. There is still a gap between Amherst Junction and a mile or so east that can be detoured on paved back roads. The trail's west end is now on the east side of Plover at Hoover Ave which is an arterial street just west of I 39/US 51. The trail now goes into western Waupaca County. Due to an approaching severe thunderstorm, I had to cut my ride short before reaching the east end. I was just west of Scandinavia when I turned around to go back to Amherst where I started my ride from. I'm not sure how far east this trail goes. The limestone surface is well packed now, ride very well and has nice scenery. "
