Tomorrow River State Trail

update on my review

about trees down blocking the trail I sent a email to Wisconsin DNR they responded they would let the crew know

Tomorrow River State Trail

trees down

June, 2026 by upland.ladles_1i

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.

Hillsboro State Trail

Nice ride

May, 2026 by ellaqk_tl

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.

Foundation Trail

Very cool forest trail

Very cool forest trail

Wiouwash State Trail

mostly a nice trail

May, 2026 by upland.ladles_1i

from Medina to Allenville 05/19/26 there’s a section between county II and county T that’s very muddy especially by the gravel pit it’s always muddy and from Allenville to Oshkosh it’s a better trail

Elroy-Sparta State Trail

Tunnels, forests, small towns, services!

April, 2026 by gypsycyn

This trail has everything for the biker. Plenty of shade, plenty of wildlife, small town rest stops, tunnels, near-by biking services. Best during the Autumn when the trees are changing colors. A total pleasure.

Tomorrow River State Trail

April 2026 extensive tree damage blocking trail

April, 2026 by teribeyer44

Due to recent storms (ice and heavy rains) the trail is blocked. Biking would is impossible. The first 3 miles of trail from Scandinavia toward Amherst Jct. had at least 20 large trees down across the trail. The locals said the trail from Scandinavia toward Manawa was in a similar condition. The trail winds through beautiful woodland. Hopefully some groups with chain saws and ATV’s can help with cleanup and clearing the trail.

I rode a recumbent trike from Howard to Pulaski. The trail was in good condition and a fairly smooth ride.

Needs some maintenance

October, 2025 by cewittkowske

We’ve been enjoying this trail for 40 + years but have been noticing a decline in maintenance. Vegetation closing in on some sections and grading needed in others. Please help keep this treasure going for our future generations!
