Bugline Trail

One of my favorites!

April, 2021 by johnekoehler

I have to say this is one of my favorite paved asphalt trails that I have ridden. It is extremely well maintained and smooth. It is well marked with signage and mike markers. It travels though a mix of suburbia and countryside. There is a great view looking down on a very deep limestone quarry with beautiful aqua colored water in the bottom. I parked at Merton’s Firemen park close to the west end of the trail. Plenty of parking right on the trail . They have restrooms which were closed (probably due to Covid) but they have a port-a-potty set up. I rode to Menomonee Falls on the east end of the trail. There are numerous street crossings but drivers were extremely courteous and most of them actually stopped to let me crossing so I didn’t have to wait. There was a mixture of people out on the trail trail. Walkers, bikers, runners, and dogs. Everyone seems to show respect for other users. I highly recommend this trail!

Loop the Little Lake

Nice easy trail

April, 2021 by johnekoehler

This is always one of my favorite trails in the area. It is not a long trail, and you are looking for a strenuous workout on a bike this is probably not the trail to do that. But as a nice casual fully paved trail it is perfect for a nice ride after work or a quick ride to start your day. It is very well maintained with many benches and a couple of bike repair stations. It is well marked with good signage. The highlight is the trestle trail bridge across the lake. It also connects to the friendship trail which is a nice additional ride.

CE Trail

Adequate Connections

April, 2021 by mattwheelermd

To Newberry, konkapot trails. Lots of intersections across some fairly busy roads, and a couple of roundabouts. Pavement is in pretty good shape. Not all that scenic going parallel to CE the entire time.

Apple Creek Trail

An easy walk.

March, 2021 by rz6gyn73n9

Easy to walk; hard to find parking - I used Scheel’s Sports complex. Too built up along the trail easy to walk; hard to find parking - I used Scheel’s Sports complex. Too built up along the trail

CE Trail

January, 2021 by duvernaydanielr

First off, the CE Trail connects perfectly to the Newberry Trail which can bring you into the center of Appleton. The Trail is a good condition and perfect for walking and biking. Every time I ride on it I see people enjoying it. There are big hills/descents to cross some roads, but it's nothing impossible. It also connects to many other roads like State Park Road, almost all of them are perfect for biking. Overall it serves as a funnel into and out of Appleton while also connecting you to multiple businesses like the Kimberly YMCA and the Recyclist. I use it at least once a month.

Wiouwash State Trail
