Completed my final leg of this trail by riding from London to Cottage Grove today. Trail conditions were very good, however the bridges can use some maintenance. All have matting across them to assist in preventing flats, however watch your approach, there can be some serious bumps getting onto & off the bridges. Having ridden the entire trail now, eastern portion several times; it’s just my opinion that the western portion would be my recommendation. East of Douseman the trail is paved, however much of it is in need of maintenance to remedy cracks.
First time on this trail on a beautiful October day. I was impressed with the scenery and variety of alternate trails along the way that included hiking and mountain bike trails. While I accessed the trail from the southern trailhead, there are two alternate access points between Cambridge and Rockdale along highway B, containing picnic tables and facilities. Well done Dodge Co. park system.
The Tunnel Trail was the first ride with my new e-bike and the first time I had been on a bike in 20 years. We spent the week camping at the Tunnel Trail Campground and rode every day. The trail was wonderful and was in great condition. My 96 year old mom was able to ride 20 miles on her mobility scooter while we all rode our bikes. We absolutely loved moving through the beautiful rolling hills of endless farmland, cows, horses and quiet. The quiet was heavenly and the rides were wonderful. Definitely will do again.
I rode the entire Sugar River Trail starting in New Glarus and ending in Brodhead totaling around 44 miles round trip. I found the trail to be in very good condition, mostly flat and finely crushed gravel with no major imperfections. The trail is mostly shaded and provided a wide variety of scenery from farmlands to quiet streams. There are a few road crossings but I encountered very few cars my entire trip.
The highlight of the Sugar River Trail are it's endpoints, both Brodhead and especially New Glarus are wonderful towns filled with charm and many options to dine at. I especially recommend staying in New Glarus at it makes accessing the Sugar River Trail as easy as a short ride if you stay in town.
The trail is almost entirely crushed stone, except for the 1/2 mile of asphalt in New Glarus and the 1 mile of road in Brodhead. In fact, the term "crushed stone" is quite generous, since the trail is mostly two tire tracks with a grass median. Bottom line, the trail surface was solid even after a light rainfall and the grass on both sides of the trail as well as the median were neatly mowed. There was a nice mix of marsh, forest and open prairie. There was a mile marker on the west or south side of the trail every mile. The ride was very peaceful and quiet, except for an auction I heard while taking a break at the Albany trailhead. It was a nice change of pace to the ambient serenity. There were a few road crossings, but the country roads were rarely traveled. Both Broadhead and New Glarus were excellent anchors for this trail. There was lots to explore in both cities!
The asphalt surface had perpendicular cracks running throughout most of the trail resulting in a bumpy ride and over half of the cracks were filled with grass. The grass-filled cracks were actually preferred, since they helped cushion the ride almost eliminating the bumps altogether. Riding on the Levee, which separated the Wisconsin River from the local Portage population, gave me a euphoric feeling as if I were on "Top of the World." There was an interesting lock on the west side of the trail with an equally interesting watch tower. The trail was short, however, with an abrupt ending at the east end of the trail.
I started my ride in Sauk City on an overcast day and biked to the end of the trail in Merrimac. After reading previous reviews, I had high expectations for this trail. The asphalt surface was in perfect condition from start to finish. The trail was a wonderful mix of city neighborhoods, forest, farmland and open prairie. The art work scattered along the trail was a bonus as well as riding along the border of the Ho-Chunk Nation. At the start of the trail in Sauk City, it looked like a new pedestrian bridge had been built over the Wisconsin River. The trail to the bridge was closed due to construction. Even though the day was overcast, my high expectations for this trail were met. I will be back again.
I parked in the Mary Rountree Evans Park parking lot where the two trail segments are separated. Although the asphalt was older with some cracks, the ride was still acceptable. The trail meanders through a nice canopy of trees through the west segment and the western section of the east segment. Midway through the east segment, the route changes from trail to sidewalk (or road). The route takes you past the Circus World Museum and the corresponding historic buildings where all the circus animals were kept. There was lots to see during the short ride. I was fortunate that there were not many visitors that day and thus vehicular traffic was at a minimum.
We will be in the area in early October. Can someone please give us an update on the condition. Recommendations on Elroy-Sparta or 400 trails, please and thank you. Happy trails.
I read the reviews and was so looking forward to this trail but I’m wondering if we took the wrong route. There were a group of women horseback riding and the trail had lots of horse poop was also narrow and winding and had tree roots that made it difficult and dangerous especially on the ridges. We turned back after about 20 min
Rode from Dodgeville to Barneveld. The trail is pretty rough and feels more like a dirt road than a rail trail. Some sections are fine, but on other sections you really need to pay attention.
