Wild Goose State Trail

underwhelming

June, 2020 by ucrubr

Road the entire trail from fox du lac to Juneau. Plus a side 3 or so miles at the Horicon. It was so much the same. Not much changed all the way. Few people on it so it was a bit boring. Not much to visit along the way and Juneau didn’t have much either. I didn’t hate it but I wouldn’t do it again. Lots of bumps and the trail was ok otherwise. Just meh.

Wild Goose State Trail

Ruts

June, 2020 by alanelle

There are a few deep ruts caused by equipment used to push over dead trees that need repairs. Some are difficult to see until you are on top of them.

Newton Blackmour State Trail

Love Newton Blackmour

June, 2020 by kjacquart1

Rode the trail from Black Creek to New London a week ago with my wife. Did the other section earlier in the year. We both loved it. The wetlands seem to stretch forever. Plenty of wildlife, vegetation and scenery to enjoy and appreciate. The serenade from the frogs was great. Some deer and cranes as well. Also the lumber mill activity in Shiocton was intriguing. Not much shade but just perfect for what we like. Abrupt ending in New London.

Old Plank Road Trail (WI)

No shade, lots of hills

June, 2020 by kjberndt

Started in Greenbush and made it 9 miles before turning back. All asphalt, no shade, lots of hills between Greenbush and Plymouth.

Fox River State Trail

loved loved this trail!

June, 2020 by ucrubr

Put on almost 60 miles today on this trail start to finish. Tootled around the town of Green Bay for a while too. Love this trail! The paved part is fantastic, and the packed lime stone is great too! When you reach the paved portion your asked to leave $5 for the trail. Well worth it imho. Will return again. Really wasn’t crowded. Since it’s such a wide trail it’s easy to get around ppl.

Newton Blackmour State Trail

a bit Monotonous

June, 2020 by ucrubr

I rode house road in New London to Seymour and back. 43 miles total. The crushed gravel is fine but lots of large clumps of weeks. Nothing much was seen (one turkey) but it’s straight and a bit boring. I didn’t hate it but probably won’t do it again. No benches at all to stop and rest (so I didn’t) however rides through quite a bit of swamp so I’m sure the Mosquitoes would be insane.

Mountain-Bay State Trail

Eland Traveling West 6/6/2020

June, 2020 by dennik

Pleasantly surprised! One of the best scenic trails we’ve traveled on. A tad bumpy in spots but overall easy to travel for a gravel trail.

Loop the Little Lake

beautiful view.

June, 2020 by ucrubr

I’ve ridden this trail several times now. It’s lovely. There are even bike fix spots along the way. When it’s crowded it’s hard to maneuver around kids running to both sides of the trail. Parents need to teach trail etiquette to them! It connects with the Friendship trail and the Wiouwash trail I enjoy all of these.

Kohler Memorial Drive Path

great trail for all ages

May, 2020 by rrk8091_tl

This trail has something for everyone. Long and slight terrain changes. Great for families with small kids who need some together time. All paved and maintained.

Duck Creek Trail (WI)

Worst trail ever..... This is not a trail but more of a joke against hikers looking for a nice walk down a trail. No markings no grooming totally dangerous

West Side Railroad Trail

Great Trail, Very Short

April, 2020 by chadwickholloman

I love very close to this trail and ride it a couple times a week, it’s only 1.5 miles, but it is maintained very well and even has a bicycle repair station on the trail. Lots of walkers as the weather has gotten nicer, but still great for a quick leisurely ride.

Mascoutin Valley State Trail

wonderful marshy grassland

April, 2020 by vanburenbud

I and a beautiful friend of mine got to ride this beautiful scenic ride from fond du lac to rose n dale and back today and we absolutely enjoyed the whole experience, a bit windy but a nice 2:30 hr ride at a leisurely pace. Happy trails to you all!
