Wild Goose State Trail

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

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

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!

Cheese Country Recreation Trail

White River State Trail

white river trail

September, 2025 by jkabens

Trail is in great shape. Nice smooth surface, hard packed , very tiny stones if any. Trail west of Burlington is maybe more scenic and goes through 2 small towns. Very flat so get to pedal the whole way. Lots of shade along the way. Found a good route to get through Burlington. Look up city bike routes on city website.
