We rode from east Medicine Lake Park to Fish Lake Regional Park. Except for a few miles along a noisy 4 lane road it was a pretty trail. Parts of trail appeared to have been recently resurfaced. But other parts were very rough. I missed 1 turn off because of no signage, but was able to get back on track with Trail Link map.
Accidentally gave 5 stars in earlier review. Trail very bad, no advance warning, whole length on sidewalk. Had to cross bridge over using #169 (thought I was going to die) Never again
Trail is in great shape with plenty of places to stop along the way for treats and activities ¿
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??
This trail is gravel and starts just down the road from Trollhaugen ski area in Dresser, WI with parking about a quarter mile down the road from the trailhead at Lotus Lake Park. The trail is mostly wooded and you’ll pass through three small enclaves along the way with the destination being Amery, WI which has a nice covered pavilion with many picnic tables, facilities and parking. Recommend gravel or mountain bike tires as the gravel gets loose at times. Overall, maintenance is good and the trail relatively smooth. I’ll be back…
We rode this trail early July 2025 starting from Eau Claire with intentions to go south to Durand and back. The trail starts in Eau Claire and is great with mostly new pavement until you hit the city limits at which time the trail degrades rapidly with cracks, bumps, foot tall weeds/grass growing up through cracks, holes, roots, overgrown grass and weeds on each side of the trail so as to render it single wide, etc. We made it about halfway and turned around in disgust as this trail was not worth our time and aching lower back. Clearly biking and/or this trail, is not a priority for the state of Wisconsin and has consequently been abandoned. shame, it’s beautiful country.
We rode the trail south from Eau Claire about 10 miles. I'm sure at one time this was a nice trail, but it hasn't been maintained and it's very rough. Make sure your bike has shock absorbers! The trail in Eau Claire is much better.
Beautiful trail and very well kept. There were only a few patches of bumpy riding, otherwise the asphalt trail was in great condition. Lots of benches to rest at and there were facilities in the town areas. Would definitely recommend this trail!
Trail in great condition until somewhere between Warsaw and Morristown. Big tree down across the path on Saturday after a storm. Beautiful tree canopies and many bench/picnic table pull-offs. Would have liked to see more facilities on the trail.
Beautifully paved bike trail over the waters and thru the woods. We rode from St. Bonafacious to Wayzata and back. Very smooth and cool morning ride. This trail is very popular as we met up with numerous walkers and bikers alike. Highly recommend especially if you’re a beginner or a fan of a level trail without hills.
