Lower Yahara River Trail

Exceptional unique trail

September, 2025 by bgbw5xpyh5

9/13/25 We began at the east end of the Lower Yahara Trail and then picked up the City Trail from there. Both trails were in exceptional condition. Traffic was busy, however the weather in mid-September in the low 80's certainly brought people out. A very friendly trail by anyone's standards. Well worth the 50 minute drive to get here. This is the second September we've rode this trail.

Sugar River State Trail

Loved it

September, 2025 by ggroth99

Started in Brodhead, and rode to Monticello and back on Labor Day weekend. First mile is right down 3rd avenue, which is fairly wide and marked for bike traffic, and car traffic was slow, and passed with plenty of distance. The trail itself starts on the north end of Brodhead, and overall was pretty good, packed crushed stone / fine gravel. We had no issues with our hybrids. The trail was relatively flat and an easy ride. There is one spot where the trail takes some sharp turns around a country club, and leaves the former railbed. The trail was a little soft in this part, and the curves little iffy, but still totally manageable on our bikes. 6 miles to Albany with decent scenery and shade. Crossing Hwy 59 on the north end of Albany was a little intimidating, but drivers were courteous and stopped to let us cross. Next up - 9 miles from Albany to Monticello. The scenery between Albany & Monticello was wonderful as you're either travelling in a protected wildlife area or right next to the river. The bridges looked tired, but posed no issues. Overall, saw a fair number of other bikers, maybe 2 dozen over the course of 4 hours? So definitely nice and quiet. Flush toilets and water fountains in Monticello & Albany, Pit toilet and water fountain in Monticello. 32.5 miles round trip for this section. Would definitely return to this one, it would probably be fantastic for fall colors.

Muskego Recreation Trail (Route of the Badger)

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.

Ridgefield Trace

Algonquin to Woodstock - downtown

August, 2025 by kkoniche_tl

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.

Capital City State Trail

nice trail rude riders

August, 2025 by jerbear5878

Really nice trail but walker be careful. So many rude riders not letting you know they are coming behind you. 3 simple words “on your left”. When riding I always give walkers and other riders plenty of warning when passing, plus always slowing down.

Peace Trail

Great Ride

August, 2025 by gallupr

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.

Oak Leaf Trail (Route of the Badger)

fantastic trail! (with caveats)

July, 2025 by hadley6609

We came to Milwaukee specifically to ride this trail. Over the course of three days I put a little over 100 miles on my bike, which did include some backtracking. I'd say we rode maybe 60% of the trail. The majority of what we rode was gorgeous and incredibly well maintained. In particular, the lakeshore section from South Shore park to Grant Park was incredible. The Whitnall Park/Root River route on the western edge of the Oak Leaf loop was also a wonderful ride. We rode from riverside park out to Glendale; if you do this portion make sure to ride up into the Arboretum, it was amazing. (And you will find restrooms there). On a less positive note , the East/west route that bisects the Oak Leaf Loop was barely a trail, more o

Wild Goose State Trail

weekday ride in 88 degree weather

July, 2025 by neumanlover

It’s a beautiful trail … well maintained! Quite a bit of shade for the most part we started In Fond du Lac off rolling meadows rd. Biked to the Horicon Marsh loop. I would recommend stopped at Katy’s Log Cabin in Oakfield for a good bloody and/or a great lunch !

Wild Goose State Trail

Since the tornado in May 2025 there is two miles of trees down not far from Juneau. It is impassable. I rerouted from prospect onto Hwy 26 to Swan Rd.

Fox River Trail (Route of the Badger)

I enjoyed the south half but the part through the city was not well or marked at all. Route would be vastly improved with some signage.
