Mariners Trail

Very, very nice!

June, 2025 by cybursleuth1

We drove our bikes from the Manitowoc Maritime Museum up to the harbor in Two Rivers. The ride goes right along side a very busy highway next to many beaches of Lake Michigan. So for us the only downside if the ride was traffic noise which meant we had to shout any communication. But the views are very beautiful. We saw more pelicans in one afternoon than probably the entirety of our lives. There are beautiful flowers along the trail, restrooms and places to access the beaches. For us it was the ideal ride. The West of the Lake Garden that you pass by is a must stop location, it is free but park by the bike racks and no carry-ins allowed.

Lake to Lake Bike Trail

The trail is well maintained and an easy ride. It follows the terrain. The views are beautiful. Lots of families either walking or biking.

I enjoyed the south half but the part through the city was not well or marked at all. Route would be vastly improved with some signage.

Sheboygan Interurban Trail

not a “trail”

May, 2025 by r99ghs5zhr

Started at the depot in Oostburg and headed north. After a few blocks we re-checked the app and saw it was just a bike *route*, not really a trail. We turned around and went back. No idea why this is considered a trail. It’s just a bike route. I don’t mind sharing with cars for short sections but I don’t consider riding busy country roads for miles worthy of “trail” designation.

Wild Goose State Trail

Lovely Trail

November, 2024 by the_masseuse

It’s pretty scenic, especially with the leaf colors. Also pretty busy! There’s parking on both ends. A lot of the trail is grass, not even gravel. The spot where it’s asphalt is very minimal. It’s awesome you can stop and ride through Horicon Marsh! Lots of kitties on this trail ¿

Jefferson County Interurban Trail

stunning and peaceful

October, 2024 by wilsonae

Just kept riding. Gorgeous fall day. Started at northern trailhead. Passed a few walkers and one other biker the whole way to the end. As noted it has been extended well past 2.2 miles. Lovely scenery and immaculate trail surface with lots of peaceful farms. My new fave!

Glacial Drumlin State Trail (Route of the Badger)

Great trail, but there's a temporary closure

October, 2024 by sarahccaltvedt

We rode about 23 miles round-trip from the Waukesha trailhead on Oct. 12. The asphalt is in pretty good condition, with just a few bumps. However, when we got to the big curve around what used to be a field east of Dousman, we discovered that the field is now a massive construction site, and the trail is closed indefinitely, with no posted detour. We don't take our tandem on roads, so we turned around at that point. I assume that the trail is open west of the construction site, but don't know exactly where.

We didn't ride on the western portion of the trail that day, but it's one of our favorites, especially the part where you bike across the lake.
