We rode it yesterday and really liked the undulating trail. So much better than an abandoned railroad trail. There are quite a few metal barriers to keep cars and atvs off the trail with just enough space for a biker to get thru. The one off trail section is hilly
Mainly orv/snowmobile path. Along rivers and power lines. Be cautious of wolves in the area. Multiple small bridges over river crossings.
Awesome trail. Both paved and good gravel sections. We are five relatively fit men and women ages 64, 65, 66, 67, and 70. Our 70 year old rode a fat tire e-bike, but the rest of us had regular road bikes. We parked in Harvey and rode the trail to Negaunee and back, a 30-mile round trip. The constant uphill climb from Marquette into a breeze from the west was a challenge but the scenery is wonderful! We rested and ate lunch at a sweet café in Negaunee, the Midtown Bakery and Café, and then headed back. Since our return was pretty much all downhill, we finished 30 minutes faster than the first half of the ride. I really recommend this trail.
Started in Cranston, the surface is terrible for Hybrid biking. ATVs use this trail, yet there is an ATV trail running parallel to this trail, on E Lakeview St. ?? I guess I would recommend a biking/hiking trail not be used by ATVs.
Riding a bike can be tough because the ATVs leave ruts which are hard to ride thru. Hiking, though, is nice. Different types of topography make it a very pleasant walk.
We started walking this trail in Gillett at the entrance in the industrial park off of W Park St. The trail is wide, flat and straight. It is well maintained. I noticed a few beer cans littered along the trail. But, mostly this is a VERY clean trail. We enjoyed the canopy covered parts of the trails through the woods, the open fields and the occasional creek or lake views. We went as far as Spice Lake and circled back. The surface of the trail was challenging and varied with different types of rock along the way. Most areas were loose rocks varying is size from tiny pebbles to 1-2" round. You don't get good traction. We only encountered a few ATVs and they were all very respectful...slowing down and allowing plenty of room to pass. Time of day: weekday morning.
We have biked this trail several times in the last few months, it never seems to get old. Coffee or ice cream in a comfy chair at the end of the trail!
Love this trail for our rides. It’s a very scenic route. We use it often to travel from the Long Lake area to Laona, Mountain and other areas, from which we depart this trail and travel other trail systems in Florence, Forest and Marinette counties. Think of it as an effective north/south “expressway” corridor route that gets you to other local areas for trail riding and sightseeing. A great ride! worhythe
We rode the trail in August 2021. The trailhead park in Conover is very nice, with excellent bathrooms and a bike tool stand including a pump. Within the first mile, however, you cross US 45 twice. It was a Tuesday, but the traffic was still heavy. I can't imagine crossing this with little kids. Once these crossings were done, the trail was great. A nice mixture of wetlands, forest, and dark hemlock stands. Halfway between Conover and Phelps there is a picnic table and a bench overlooking Muskrat Creek. The Phelps end was paved, but had road crews still working on it. Will ride again but will find a new starting point.
Lots of different scenery... Trail is definitely maintained.. trail now extends into Phelps which was a surprise... Very nice ¿
This was our first time on this trail and it’s great. My wife & I went from Eagle River to Three Lakes & back. The stretch in between (on the roads) wasn’t bad as we only experienced one car. The northern section had twist & turns through wooded area as well as boardwalks over marshes. The southern section had the same plus a straight section right by Three Lakes. Highly recommend this trail!
