One of my favorites! Well packed, some hills and curves. A section with cedars on either side, another section where the trees form a canopy above. Truly enjoyable, ending at Point Beach where you can watch the waves of Lake Michigan crash in on a sandy beach. 5-stars for sure!
We picked up the trail in Maribel and rode to Denmark, then rode back toward the other end. We didn’t quite finish it. On the positive—the trail is fairly well maintained. Not much traffic. It’s well marked and there are distance markers every 0.25 miles. A combination of fields, farms and trees, and some nice wooden bridges. Not as positive—some of the gravel is not well packed down. The drop off on the sides on the section from Maribel to Denmark is a bit steep and you shouldn’t take your eyes off the trail. Some of the intersections with roads involve a steep grade up, which makes it difficult if you don’t have an e bike. An ok trail but not our favorite. Also wish it had some ports-Johns along the way.
We parked in Arrowhead Park. Lot of parks along this trail with bathrooms. Very nice paved trail. Mostly pretty scenic around the lake. Pelicans and shy egrets. Lots of bridges across the water. Pretty well marked. Lots of maps and signs. Passes by water treatment center, short business area, and a neighborhood of small cottages with garages. We used this trail as a jumping off point from Fritse Park to take the paved Fox Crossing trail to the unpaved Friendship trail.
I rode from Shiocton to New London the trail was mowed definitely an improvement since my ride last month
Trail is completely overgrown about a half mile from the western end. We ended up skipping this trail entirely.
This section of the trail was in very good condition It was a nice ride. There was a parking area and a repair station
trail head parking in New London was open. starting out the trail was ok but further east it was over grown with weeds and tall grass, a couple miles from from Shiocton the trail was closed from the flood washing out the trail. I emailed the county parks department hopefully it improves and the washed out part of the trail gets repaired.
Nice enough trail to get from the Wiouwash to Neenah area but very bumpy.
about trees down blocking the trail I sent a email to Wisconsin DNR they responded they would let the crew know
I read reviews from April about trees down this is June I rode from Amherst to Scandinavia didn’t make it because trees are still down. Who is supposed to remove down trees on the trails?
it’s a nice trail to bad it’s not being cleaned up.
