We’ve done this trail twice and really enjoy it. Was attending a conference in SP and decided to bring bikes along. Weather was perfect for riding so we took advantage and rode this trail. It was wonderful. Love the variety of ‘environments’ you bike through, especially Schmeekle Reserve. The train is well maintained. Only delay was waiting on a train for 45 minutes!!
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.
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
If you’re looking for a nice quiet ride either segment of the trail is great! The fondy-Rosendale was better than the second half of the trail in my opinion.
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.
We really enjoyed riding on this trail. It was very scenic and well maintained.
We rode the entirety of the trail in 2.5 miles and we’ve never seen a more clean, well-maintained, and marked walking/biking path. Top notch! Highly recommended!
I rented a bike from Petes Garage excellent service. I would recommend to use this bike shop if you need to rent a bike in the future. The staff was incredible and very helpful.
I bicycled this path today the fox river Trail It was absolutely beautiful. Going from urban sounds just suburban areas and then finally into farming. I rode out to mile 12 and then turned around and came back. It was incredible. Nature sounds were everywhere.
I started at the Bairds Creek trailhead and through trial and error found out how it connected to the East River Trail. Not marked at all with signs to link the trails together. I think where it crosses busy Mason St is where the two trails come together. The ERT was very nice, great condition other than the fact that part of a trail was impassable due to east river overflowing its banks. But was able to get through going over the street and down to trail. Easy fix. The last portion before Ledgeview Park was completely overrun by gushing water. No sign warning you of what’s ahead.
