I was with my daughter, trying to bike this trail from downtown Milwaukee west about 10 miles to the zoo. Where the trail existed it was fantastic, but boy was a hard to follow. There are lots of forks that are not marked “ what goes where” most of the time. We got lost twice most seriously around American Family. Added an hour to our trip. Also, Google maps tells you this way ways to get off the trail that would be fire jumping off over pass. Use the app on this app. It’s a lot better.
A lot of articles about upgrading the trail, so we did a 33 mile loop from Port Washington to Mequon. 3 miles was upgraded. The rest was filled with cracks, and bad crossings. We won’t be back. If your going to pave trails, verses limestone you have to upgrade them or they become a safety issue, and a very unpleasant ride.
Trail is in great shape. Nice smooth surface, hard packed , very tiny stones if any. Trail west of Burlington is maybe more scenic and goes through 2 small towns. Very flat so get to pedal the whole way. Lots of shade along the way. Found a good route to get through Burlington. Look up city bike routes on city website.
Did a round trip from Dean Street to Sycamore and back. Trail surface is pretty good however there are a few washouts and gopher holes. You just have to be careful. True to a former railroad bed, it is flat except for a few bridges. No busy streets to cross. The elevation profile shows a gentle rise from each end to the middle.
Do not just ride the trail and go home. At the west end take a few minutes to ride through downtown Sycamore. It is a delightful town. Enjoy some of the classic old homes on South Somonuk Street.
This path is in poor condition and needs to be redone. It is asphalt but time is not on its side. Wish I did not waste my time on this path.
The trail is kind of rough, old asphalt with crushed stones? But the area it runs through is really nice. Good test for my new phone holder, it didn't fall out! It would be a keeper if it could be smoother.
Our annual women’s biking trip did this ride on our 3rd day, a total of 36 miles round trip. Woodstock needs to have a marked bike route from the end of Ridgefield Trace into downtown Woodstock as there is a lot of traffic where the trail ends. Some spots on the trail have a lot of bumpy cracks, but overall was OK for what we needed to get from Crystal Lake to Woodstock. Downtown Woodstock is very cute with lots of shops & restaurants with a cute park/square & where Groundhog Day was filmed.
The Red Paved Loop is great for inline skaters. The path is fairly clear of sticks and rocks. There are a couple of nice declines to build up a little speed, and the inclines aren't too steep. The trail is accessible right from the parking lot
Trail is beautiful but sooooo many people. Pedestrians dont care about the bike lanes, they walk in front of you
My buddy and I rode the trail from Big Hill Park to downtown Janesville yesterday. What a great ride. About 60% of the trail is shaded. The blacktop three miles or so from Janesville is heavily cracked and rough but not too bad. The first 9mi it’s a very smooth trail. We’ll be doing this one again.
