I did the Wiouwash Trail between downtown Oshkosh and Hortonville over two days while visiting family in the Oshkosh area, and the conditions were pretty great. Prior to this past weekend, I had only ridden the southern half of this segment. If you enjoy a nice (mostly) gravel trail that is very flat, you should have a great time on this one. The trail only had one small sketchy area of about 100 yards just south of County Road II near the gravel yard. Other than that, it's a really smooth trail.
I road a Salsa Fargo on this visit with 29x2.2" tires, but have also done it on an All-City gravel bike with 700x38 tires. Both work just great, and I'm guessing you could easily get by with tires down to 32-ish mm.
There is a nice mix of fields and forested areas along with a few wetland locations. I happened to see quite a few deer, turkey Canada geese, two trumpeter swans and even a couple of Cooper's hawks hunting along the trail, one successfully.
It is probably also worth mentioning that I rode this trail on a Saturday and Sunday in good weather conditions and saw ZERO other bikers, which was more than a little surprising, but there were plenty of people walking dogs at various points along the trail.
Big thumbs up for this trail. Consider getting out to enjoy it if/when you are able.
We started at the Forestville Dam County Park and rode north to Sturgeon Bay. After a nice lunch we headed back to the park. Overall a 26 mile RT. The trail is in good shape with gravel and stone dust most of the way. Once near Sturgeon the trail follows roadside for 2-3 miles.
Fun ride through the woods. The trail is in much better condition than it was a few years ago. There are a lot of wooden board walks over the swampy areas. The trail is tough in spots, we were glad we had wider tires and stable bikes

Very Cute little trail to try out if you are doing the friendship trail. It definitely adds some light to the experience! Small easy ride
One of the best trails I have risen around here so far. Great distance that takes you through all sorts of different scenery and is easy to ride!
The trail has some nice parts , however it goes through town a lot and some parts are not clearly marked which way to go. Some parts are washed out so can be difficult to keep steady in those areas.
Rode the trail south to north. Quite not much traffic. Lots of stop signs for cross roads. Flat the whole way thru farm land and small towns. Kind of boring in some ways.
We really enjoyed riding on this trail. It was very scenic and well maintained.
Editing my review to indicate “destination”. Denmark has an exceptional place to eat and have a beer… Schuster’s Arcade. It’s been open 115 years… highly recommend! Now we will bike the trail back to our car.
