I biked this trail from the Wisconsin line to the end. Wooded and very nice scenery. The surface was thickly covered with heavy ballast rock. Some places it was a foot deep of loose rock. When the trail turns north towards Superior it starts to get usable. There's a tiny trail ends sign at a road crossing but the trail continues on. This section is not maintained and is the only usable section. Turned into a nice rideable section but ends at the next road crossing on Ames Road. Not usable for hiking, biking or horseback riding. A waste of a good rail to trail section that could link Superior to the Soo Line trails and the Munger Trail.
I started near Royalton on a fully loaded plus tire bike. Morrison counties portion is good trail of smaller gravel. Lots of open farmland. Mille Lacs county the trail turned nasty with bigger ballast and rough. Onamia to Isle is paved. I stayed at Father Hennepin State Park in Isle. Stocked up on snacks at the small grocery store. Farmland changed to wetlands. Carlton County the trail was good again. A couple miles of off the rail bed trail with mud and hills. A fun distraction. I stayed another night at Moose Lake State Park outside of town. There to the Wisconsin line is good trail. Wisconsin line to the end is horrible. Thick layer of ballast rock. A foot deep in places making it harder to pedal through than sand. All across the trail the road crossings, bridges and generally the trail through wetlands were very rough. I rode late June and the deer flies were out in abundance as was a wide variety of wildlife. My trip was mid week so the atv traffic was very light. The trash cans along the trail are full of beer cans and the posted speed limit is 50mph. I was on a week long ride and was loaded with gear, the plus tire was the right choice for me.
My husband and I have ridden almost every Rail Trail in Wisconsin but had not hit the Gandy Dancer. We rv camped in InterState State Park, which is conveniently close to this trail and easy to access. We have cyclocross bikes for trails, which I usually prefer over road bikes for any trails that are gravel. The trail was wide and clean and we did about 50 miles of it. Compared to other trails like the Great River Trail, it was kind of boring. Just farm fields, very few places to stop and rest and almost no places to fill water bottles next to the trail. We don't typically go into the little towns so that might have added to the experience, but there are plenty of other trails that enable you to at least fill up on water. Well maintained but ho-hum. LOVED the camping and hiking at Interstate tho! The Stovell 7 lakes trail nearby is WELL WORTH SEARCHING OUT and a lot prettier!
One of the most beautiful trails I have been on. You will encounter lots of wildlife on this trail. The scenery is superb!
My wife and I rode from Saint Croix Falls to Luck and back the first day. Then we rode the Stower Seven Lakes Trail to Amery. This made it a 59 mile ride for day one. On day two we rode from Luck to Danbury and back. This was a 69 mile trip. We have touring bikes (not skinny tires and not wide tires). The Burnett County portion of the trail had a much better surface than the Polk County section. Burnett County used more limestone than Polk County. When you cross over a gravel road be careful because some have soft sand on each side. The horseflies were awful. Bug spray is a must. We stopped in Danbury and bought some Off at the grocery store. That made the ride back much better. A storm went through the night before our trip to Danbury. We had to lift our bikes over fallen trees seven to eight times. The trees were cleaned up by the time we came back through, so good job to Polk County workers or DNR or whomever cleaned them up. Amelia's Cafe in Danbury was a nice spot to stop and eat. Turn left when you come to end of trail and go about one to two blocks. We have been traveling Wisconsin the past ten years and riding bike trails. This one was okay, but nothing spectacular that would draw us back to it.
Looks like a four wheeler trail, not a good hike when the sun is out as there is no shade anywhere!
Really awesome and scenic climb leaving Duluth and great trail to Carlton. After carleton the trail flattens and the scenery becomes less dramatic but still an excellent ride. overall the trail is in really great shape and a lot of fun. the day we rode is was 35 degrees and flurries (in mid may). We stayed at the Willard Munger Inn which provided super easy access to the trail. Def recommend and can you tell you it was worth the 7.5 hr drive from Chicago
This was such a nice peacefull and well maintained trail. Most def. using ofton.
I love this trail a lot and anticipate going back often. Every time I go I see something new and every time I enjoy the ride. I did a very early AM ride today and just loved every moment with a beautiful sunrise, Palliated Woodpeckers up and down the trail, Egrets and so much more. Seriously put this trail on your to do list as you just can not go wrong with it.
We rode this trail in September of 2015. Very nice and well maintained trails. There are several steep climbs both ways as you approach Split Rock Lighthouse. Be careful on the downhills as they're some serious switch backs and sharp turns. They're are numerous signs warning you of these as you approach. We're looking forward to biking more of the North Shore next Summer.
