Friendship State Trail

Old fashioned trail experience but at least it keeps you off the busy highway

July, 2026 by y1htak2

We started from Fritse park (Loop the Little Lake Trail) near Menasha and took the paved Fox Crossing Connector over to the Friendship Trail. A crushed limestone, country trail of mostly farm fields that runs along highway 10. It looks like how trails used to be before biking became more popular. Many parts are basically mowed grass with 2 ruts. There is loose stone and washed out areas. Don’t take this trail if you have poor balance or skinny tires. You can hear the highway 10 traffic noise but it’s not objectionable as it keeps you off the busy road. It has some nice hills. This trail is useful if you want to ride from Neenah and connect up with the Wiouwash Trail. The trail ends at a paved country road

Loop the Little Lake

A nice short jaunt around the lake

July, 2026 by y1htak2

We parked in Arrowhead Park. Lot of parks along this trail with bathrooms. Very nice paved trail. Mostly pretty scenic around the lake. Pelicans and shy egrets. Lots of bridges across the water. Pretty well marked. Lots of maps and signs. Passes by water treatment center, short business area, and a neighborhood of small cottages with garages. We used this trail as a jumping off point from Fritse Park to take the paved Fox Crossing trail to the unpaved Friendship trail.

Mascoutin Valley State Trail

A nice country trail in 2 segments but hard to find trailheads and parking

July, 2026 by y1htak2

Made up of 2 nice country trails with mostly decent crushed limestone surface separated into 2 parts by highway 23 which is an unsafe, busy, fast highway with a pretty wide gravel shoulder. There are no toilet facilities. Some biting flies if you stop but we didn’t get any ticks.

We first attempted to ride the Ripon to Berlin segment. In Ripon you can park slightly past the start of the trail off Locust where there is a nice parking area and pavilion. We only got about 6 miles or so before we had to stop for a very large downed tree. We could have stopped at Vines and Rushes Winery but it was a little early for us.

At the Berlin side of the trail there was a sign in a grassy area for parking across the street from where the grassy trail begins at Berlin Feed. Didn't look like that end of the trail got much use. It wasn’t worth getting tandem bike out of van to ride just a few miles so didn’t ride that part.

Then we rode our bike from Rosendale to Fond du Lac. We parked along the side of Zamzow (neighborhood) Park on Willow Creek Rd just off North St. We rode the short segment to Hwy 26 and then turned around and rode to Fond du Lac where trail ends on VVV with trail head parking.

Black Creek to Seymour 06/23/2026

June, 2026 by darkwolf5423

This section of the trail was in very good condition It was a nice ride. There was a parking area and a repair station

Newton Blackmour State Trail

New London to Shiocton 06/16/26

June, 2026 by darkwolf5423

trail head parking in New London was open. starting out the trail was ok but further east it was over grown with weeds and tall grass, a couple miles from from Shiocton the trail was closed from the flood washing out the trail. I emailed the county parks department hopefully it improves and the washed out part of the trail gets repaired.

Loop the Little Lake

love this ride

June, 2026 by 47gkpg2wy5

Love the scenery. Nice and easy

Friendship State Trail

nice enough

June, 2026 by 47gkpg2wy5

Nice enough trail to get from the Wiouwash to Neenah area but very bumpy.

Wild Goose State Trail

beautiful trail

June, 2026 by 47gkpg2wy5

Beautiful country trail. A lot of tree cover and not very many other people. Worth the ride.

Glacial River Trail

a lot of road riding

June, 2026 by 47gkpg2wy5

We took this trail from the Wild Goose trail but had no idea we would be on so many roads. As you got closer to Watertown, you are also on the road. We personally try to avoid roads as much as possible so we didn’t like this part. We only went to Watertown from the North so I am not sure what the rest of the trail is like. The actual bike paths are great.
