We wanted to try this trail out as we live near it. There are no trail heads marked. The section near the duck Creek Park is completely over grown with trees fallen over the trail. Definitely not for biking. Maybe you would enjoy hiking?
A group of 5 "Biker Babes" rode the trail on July 30, 2020. The trail, of crushed limestone, was in good condition, dry, and level. A country setting of farms, trees, fields and a mix of sun and shade. We took the trail from N. Maple St. in Black Creek and headed west to Shiocton, about 8.5 miles. We had lunch at the River Rail on their outside deck overlooking the Wolf River. Back in Black Creek, we purchased fresh vegetables at Wagner's--a few blocks from the trailhead. There is a parking lot right on Maple St. and easy access to the trail. I recommend this trail.
Went Manawa to plover. I enjoyed the different types of landscapes. Decently maintained I’ve been on worse. Hard to find where it picks up in amherst. I lady had to help me. She said no one can find it. There really is no signage.
67 miles round trip. Brown county stretch is very well maintained. Shawano not as nice. Two trees were down blocking the trail. A stretch is so overgrown and muddy I was nervous I wouldn’t make it through and get eaten alive by deerflys. Once in Shawano it turns nice again. There is a portion that is closed right before Bonduel but it takes the road for a mile or two and is well marked. Not very traveled on most of the trail. Between the cities. I liked it though. Enough shade and low winds. Want to take the Shawano to Wausau stretch next.
Mowed, but not had gravel or stone added in years. Very rough and rutted as far as we went, about 2.5 miles from the west trailhead.
The southern start of the trail begins at maritime museum and submarine. We arrived just as the Manitowoc ferry, SS Badger did to dock. Then, wow passed by numerous meticulously cared-for gardens along the way. The view of lake was magnificent as the trail was right along side it. On this hot day everywhere else was in the 90s and the temp was refreshing near lake temperature. We have to go back and take it slower to enjoy the metal art and statues of Indians.
It's any easy tide from Amherst to Scandinavia. Once at Scandinavia there is a little bakery in town to recharge at. So far one of my favorite rides.
Rode the trail from Black Creek to New London a week ago with my wife. Did the other section earlier in the year. We both loved it. The wetlands seem to stretch forever. Plenty of wildlife, vegetation and scenery to enjoy and appreciate. The serenade from the frogs was great. Some deer and cranes as well. Also the lumber mill activity in Shiocton was intriguing. Not much shade but just perfect for what we like. Abrupt ending in New London.
Put on almost 60 miles today on this trail start to finish. Tootled around the town of Green Bay for a while too. Love this trail! The paved part is fantastic, and the packed lime stone is great too! When you reach the paved portion your asked to leave $5 for the trail. Well worth it imho. Will return again. Really wasn’t crowded. Since it’s such a wide trail it’s easy to get around ppl.
I rode house road in New London to Seymour and back. 43 miles total. The crushed gravel is fine but lots of large clumps of weeks. Nothing much was seen (one turkey) but it’s straight and a bit boring. I didn’t hate it but probably won’t do it again. No benches at all to stop and rest (so I didn’t) however rides through quite a bit of swamp so I’m sure the Mosquitoes would be insane.
Pleasantly surprised! One of the best scenic trails we’ve traveled on. A tad bumpy in spots but overall easy to travel for a gravel trail.
