We biked this trail and the scenery was breath taking. Loved the trestle bridges which were well marked with a sign saying the length of the bridge and what waterway the bridge went over. The trail is well maintained with crushed gravel, picnic tables along the route, and is well marked with signs. Highly recommend this trail. We will definitely go back.
A wonderful trail. I rode 700x40 tires. Starting in Crandon will test if you brought big enough tires. A few miles out it isn't very chunky rock. Overall, well worth the ride.
We road the Hiawatha Bike Trail in July of 2019. It has beautiful Northwoods scenery. Sara Park at the trailhead provides plenty of parking and restroom facilities. We found the trail well maintained and marked.
We started at Schmeeckie visitor center which has plenty of parking, clean restrooms, a information center where you can pick up a free map. They also sell trail related items. We headed west through a sculpture park, on less traveled roads, in the woods and open areas. You pass quite a few nice lakes, rivers, creeks, stands of trees. The trail is well maintained. We biked all 27 miles and loved it. We would highly recommend this trail
Cycled from Bowler to Hadley. In Shawano County there were several places the trail was washed out and several bridges has severely warped boards ,
In Marathon county the trail was in excellent condition . At the county line if you looked west the trail was clean and clear if you looked east weed covered. The forgiving part was on the return it became hot and muggy. The Shawano trail is heavily wooded so shady and we saw many deer on the trail.
Solid gravel base so your tires don't sink in, smooth and lots of wildlife.....no bears though...ha..ha..
The trail is beautiful but under utilized. The Langlade Area Mountain Bike Association (LAMBA) has recently signed a recreational agreement with the Langlade County Forestry and Recreation Department to host an event on the trail called The Oxbow Odyssey and also to assume maintenance of the trail. It is the organizations plan to increase maintenance of the trail and promote it's use for biking. We are very excited for this opportunity to increase silent sports opportunities in Eastern langlade County. For information about LAMBA visit our website at www.lambatrails.com.
I am a hiker and decided to do the circle trail within the larger loop. Took about 1 1/2 hours. While some parts of the trail were very picturesque too many parts were not especially on the east side of the river by the factories and houses. There are so many better trails in Wisconsin I will not waste my time again
Great view of the river during winter when the foliage is gone
