Great Sauk State Trail

My Favorite Trail

July, 2026 by mertzs@new.rr.com

Fantastic trail! It’s fully paved and not busy at all. We started at the trail head and biked to Sauk City, then stopped for a coffee before heading back. The weather was perfect. What a great day of biking!

Bugline Trail

Nice paved trail except for all the road crossings at the south end

July, 2026 by y1htak2

We started in downtown Menomonee Falls. We parked in Mill Pond Park on Roosevelt, then rode our bike over to Water Street where the trail begins. That probably wasn’t the best place to start because we had to cross the two scary intersections; Highway 175 with a crossing light and Main street on a long diagonal with no crossing light.

This is a very nice trail with wooded areas that pass through residential areas and some business areas. The northern end has some fields. On the southern end you have to stop to cross at a lot of roads all the way to and through Sussex. Luckily the car drivers are very courteous and stop to let you cross. It was nice to see kids of all ages on the trail. It’s pretty flat until you get past the Fireman’s Park soccer fields in Merton. Then you have some pretty steep hills.

Wild Goose State Trail

Beautiful shaded part of the trail in Fond du lac county. Four tree areas blocking path southwest of Oakfield.

Lake Geneva Bike Path

Agree with other Reviews

July, 2026 by jboepple

Poorly marked. Several sections are in need of repair. Several unexpected "end of trail" dead ends. Very disappointed. Wish a safe route was created to hook up with the White River State Trail, which is only a few miles away, but to access it you need to traverse country roads posted at 55 MPH and with little to no shoulder.

Sugar River State Trail

Good easy trail. Started in New Glarus and went foe about 2 miles.

Military Ridge State Trail

Rider Beware

June, 2026 by nhx9h7gjw7

Love this trail but rode today between Riley and Brigham County Park and found the trail to be in extremely rough shape on either side of Mt. Horeb. Lots of ruts, giant holes and loose sand. Slow your roll and pay attention to utility flags and sticks identifying some of the bigger holes. Stay safe!

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.

Great Sauk State Trail

Our favorite trail

May, 2026 by fcktrkdpwy

We prefer paved trails and the Great Sauk Trail is among the best we've ridden! Ride it again last Saturday and the trail has been extended on the NE end since last time we rode it. Take a detour and check out Thoelke Cemetery for a bit of history; sites dating back just after WI became a state in 1848! Great eats at Gym Bar in Sauk and outstanding mojitos on the deck at Queues Bar right along the river just south of the Hwy 60 bridge in Prairie du Sac!
