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.

Very cool forest trail

Old Highway 131 Trail

The scenery is beautiful and it's very peaceful. The ride is smooth and I have to say that it is easily one of our favorites now! We will definitely be back again.

Great River State Trail

Nice springtime ride

April, 2026 by katmai_tl

The trail was in good shape from the refuge to the burned out bridge to the south. I liked the small wayside with a picnic table overlooking a small lake.

La Crosse River State Trail

Spring Ride

April, 2026 by katmai_tl

We started at the LaCrosse trailhead with a large parking area. The restrooms were closed on a warm, sunny day in late April although a sign said they were to be open at 8 am and it was 11 am. Maybe they are only open in summer? The trail was in decent shape and was being graded that day as well. I enjoyed the blooming Dutchman’s Breeches in the first few miles and the nature preserve section was wonderful! preserve were

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.

Elroy-Sparta State Trail

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!

Bud Hendrickson Nature Trail

smoothest bridge ever!

Great neighborhood route over the many train tracks.

Old Highway 131 Trail

do not miss this trail!

October, 2025 by goodwing

Well maintained and beautiful scenery. A few upgrades in elevation but not bad at all. Road is smooth for the most part.

400 State Trail

Trail is great, the bridges, not so much.

September, 2025 by martinaxe

This is a really nice gravel trail that is basically flat for its entire length. It offers a really nice ride that can be enjoyed by riders of all skill levels.

On this is a trail, you'll have a chance to pass through a few towns and cross quite a few bridges, most of which will rattle your teeth due to their rugged surfaces. You can expect there to be a mix of trees and scrub along a lot of the trail with open areas reveal whole lot of Wisconsin farmland. The trail has several access points along its route, so you can pick a distance that works for you.

One of the nicer things experienced along the trail was a little cooler with ice water for you to enjoy as you leave the town of Reedsburg. It's just an example of cool people doing cool things.

I actually rode beyond the Elroy on up to Sparta, which I highly recommend if you're looking for a longer ride. I spent the night in a hotel then made it a round trip the next morning.

Other than that, this was a really nice ride.
