As other reviews state, this side isn’t as nice and maintained as its counter part. There’s a small section in the middle that gets narrow and some grass clumps have grown in the midst of the asphalt. BUT from Harmony a few miles out it is brand new, and the views are worth it! Hilly as hell! But also fun. Best part is camping at the Hidden Valley campground. This part of the river is ice cold!!
We will be in the area in early October. Can someone please give us an update on the condition. Recommendations on Elroy-Sparta or 400 trails, please and thank you. Happy trails.
This section of trail is in terrible shape and in dire need of repaving. There are mud and moss covered areas that are almost impassable as well as cracks, holes and crumbling asphalt. This trail is dangerous especially for road bikes. What a shame they have let this go for so long for a state trail since the scenery is so beautiful!
I read the reviews and was so looking forward to this trail but I’m wondering if we took the wrong route. There were a group of women horseback riding and the trail had lots of horse poop was also narrow and winding and had tree roots that made it difficult and dangerous especially on the ridges. We turned back after about 20 min
Unfortunately what is otherwise a nice, flat, double track trail is interrupted at about halfway heading north. The bridge that burned is in the middle of a marshy lake so it seems there is no good detour. I’ll be back when they replace the bridge.
Great trail! Wide and open, great views of the river. A must do trail!
We stayed in Preston overnight and the rode 6.7 miles of this trial to access the Root River trail and then east to Peterson and back for a 50 mile ride. While not as wide and well maintained as the root river trial this is still a nice shady trail with pleasant river views and Preston is a good Lodging option for the root river trail. Stayed at the Jailhouse Inn. The owners are very welcoming and the breakfast is top notch.
A great easy cruising trail. Wider than most and well maintained. Lots of shade but you can still get views of farms, hills, and the river.
Closed between CT H TUNNEL ROAD AND HOFF ROAD FOUNTAIN TOWNSHIP WI

We rode the Hillsboro Trail today and fully enjoyed it. It was our third ride in three days. A post had mentioned the gravel that caused instability but we had no problems other than for 2/10 to 3/10th of a mile so virtually nothing. Possibly, the gravel is more settled than when first placed. We rode onto the 400 trail a little ways as well. Our only disappoint of the ride was that the brewery wasn’t open on Mondays which was today. We would recommend this ride especially if you are looking for a short out and back.
