We started in Orangeville and rode halfway to Freeport. Beautiful ride. We didn’t notice the hot weather because of the canopy of shade. The only negative is that there is no drinking water on the trail. Bring plenty of water.
Grateful to have this recreational trail in my community. It serves as a welcomed source of exercise, bird's-eye view of wildlife & vitamin D therapy. I thank & appreciate all who's efforts to make this trail become a reality.
I rode a portion of this trail last year and returned again to ride the entire distance. Trail is in better condition than some of the asphalt trails I've ridden in the past. Starting in New Glarus the trail crosses the Edelweiss Country Club so watch for golf carts at the crossing! Monticello greets riders with bathrooms and a water fountain. The 9 mile stretch between Monticello and Albany is the longest between towns. Once in Albany there is a gas station on the trail and a nice picnic bench behind it if you're taking a break. Last 7 miles into Brodhead ends the nearly 23 mile journey. Caution is needed with the rabbits, chipmunks, turtles, and occasional rodent hole on the trail. Trail surface is very hard and compact...very smooth. Maintenance was bushwhacking outside of Albany and I noticed patches of gravel where trail repairs were made. I give this trail 5 stars for what it has to offer...and it offers everything a trail rider would need. Summer late afternoons bring out the gnats and flying insects but if you keep moving it's not a real problem unless you stop so make sure you have bug spray if needed. Hope you enjoyed your ride on this trail as I have!
Went 6/19/20. Enjoyed the ride a lot. I prefer the country area towards fitchburg, but it was nice to ride downtown as well. If you can only do one ride while in the Madison area, I think this one is best.
Rode the 400 Trail from Reedsburg to Elroy. New trail surface from west of Lavalle to wonewoc. Some rough spots but stay in middle to avoid washboard effect left by treads. The Baraboo River water level is low.
Beer and cycling together for me. This trail is close to some excellent local breweries.Get out there and enjoy a ride and some beer.
My kids loved it! Great view! And they enjoyed the whole ride!
Was pleasantly surprised by this beautiful trail! Very walkable took our dog Blue and my wife who was in a wheelchair at the time. Massive cotton wood trees line most the trail with plenty of benches to relax and enjoy the views of the river.
Read all of the reviews and sadly the same problem has existed for several years - trail needs serious maintenance. This trail is more like a single track mountain bike trail minus the mountain. It definitely is not suitable for a recumbent tadpole. Rode from New Glarus to Monticello thinking conditions would improve -- they did not and we abandoned the ride!!
Come on Wisconsin I know you can do better - Elroy-Sparta is awesome!!
Sugar River - a disappointment!
Rode from Monticello to Albany on my older mountain bike. No issues with upkeep. Great scenery and didn’t pass many other people on a holiday weekend.
