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.
Super nice trail! I think I counted 2 cracks. Well marked. Feel free to ride your road bike. Parked on the north end. There are about five parking spots there. Only downside is that it’s quite open which can expose you to wind
It’s pretty scenic, especially with the leaf colors. Also pretty busy! There’s parking on both ends. A lot of the trail is grass, not even gravel. The spot where it’s asphalt is very minimal. It’s awesome you can stop and ride through Horicon Marsh! Lots of kitties on this trail ¿
I have ridden this trail a couple of times and have enjoyed the trail quality and the river and prairie scenery. The only complaint I have is that the trail ends before getting into Devils Lake State Park which could make the trail spectacular.
We had ridden into Elroy from Sparta and realized the 400 trail left from there. We went back to Elroy two days later and rode 11 miles out on the 400. We went through Union and through Wonewoc. We were so impressed with the little town of Wonewoc and the super clean facility they had along the trail, that included a picnic shelter and water fountain along with bike repair stands. The ride itself was very nice. The trail was well cared for and there were many bridges that overlooked very pretty areas. We passed several large rock formations that were impressive. We hope to return to the area so we can ride the entire trail.

It’s a well maintained, paved trail with markers and sculptures along the way. The scenery is beautiful!!
Loved this trail. Finished it on the 28th. Nicely maintained n beautiful scenery. Recommend highly.
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!
