This trail was horrible for bicycling This was the most unpleasant bike ride I’ve ever been on. It was completely unmarked and difficult to find. It was all dirt with ATV tracks and ruts throughout. We turned around 2 miles in, and never saw any asphalt in that 2 miles. It was only dirt and gravel. I would totally NOT recommend for bicycling.
We biked this trail from downtown Chippewa Falls to Brunet Island State Park stopping in Cornell for lunch which has two bar & grills and one restaurant to choose from. The trail from Chippewa to Anson trailhead is basically riding through town and business park warehouses and I think we’re gonna skip this section next time. The Anson trailhead is probably the best place to park. As you ride north the trail becomes particularly beautiful from Jim Falls north. When you get to the end take the time to ride the big loop at Brunet Island State Park which is beautiful. The rail trail itself is straight long and flat-reduced to four stars due to sections of the trail being rough with many cracks, holes, etc.
Yesterday we rode this very bumpy trail. Part of the Cedar Lake trail is closed and hopefully there’s some resurfacing going on in the area. Still busy on a Sunday afternoon but in need of new paving!
Started at north end, Pine Point Park and did 11 miles south to turn around. Couple of knucklehead kids, playing around between paved and equestrian trail, so was irritated by them, but the 3M (Monday midday mower) was worse. One worker with an oversized tractor to drag his mower around and litter the trail with multiple chewed up shredded branches for several miles was not fun. Washington County should be able to do a better job than that.
We ride the trail a few times a year. It's gotten so bumpy in places that it's not a comfortable ride anymore. Redwing to Welch bad. Cannon to Welch almost as bad. Could be one of the nicest trails in the state if the surface was overlayed.
We like this trail. It’s not crowded and it’s covered in shade and you receive the breeze from the water. The only thing which could be better if it went all the way around versus stopping and having come back.
Asphalt trail from Tarrant Park in Durand is rough with lots of twigs, grass growing between the asphalt, and repaired potholes. We went a little over 3 miles and turned around. It is mostly shaded. There are yellowflies. Would not do again.
Rode the Sam Morgan Trail today (8/3/25) from the I35E Bridge east to downtown St.Paul. The trail reconstruction is now complete! Barriers are only up for wrapping up some loose ends. Beautiful wide new asphalt trail to Randolph St. Enjoy!
Went on the Troutbrook Trail today. … Not advised. There’s a picture of an overpass bridge under photos. When we psssed that there’s a homeless encampment. The only redeeming part of this trail was there were two squad cars parked at the end of it so I felt a little safer. Not a place to bring kids!!!
This trail is 100% paved, runs through woods, farm fields, along the river and is mostly well maintained. Riding from the beautiful Schaars Bluff regional park to Prescott, WI, having lunch at one of the many places in town and riding back makes a perfect day. It’s not all flat railroad grade however as there are a number of hills, which I personally like for the workout and keep in mind that you have to cross the Mississippi River bridge once you get into Hastings, MN as it is not clearly marked. Once over the bridge, the trail resumes and runs over to Prescott. Fun ride…
Roughly about 2 miles south of the trailhead in Menominee WI, the trail has had a washout due to recent heavy rains. When you go to the trailhead there are signs that say the trail is closed. This is normally a very nice unpaved, scenic and smooth trail as I’ve rode it many times. Not sure, but you may be able to get on the trail in Downsville and ride south??
