Tuscobia State Trail

great trail

July, 2025 by rwild1988

All around smooth for an atv trail.

Duncan Creek Trail

Nice trail

June, 2025 by dpate

I rode the Duncan Creek trail in early June 2025. It was very enjoyable. I wasn’t watching my map closely and I ended up on the Old Abe trail that connects to it. Overall really good 5 star trail. Traveling cyclist Facebook

Chippewa River State Trail

Good trail

June, 2025 by dpate

I rode the length of this trail from Phoenix Park in Eau Claire to the endpoint in Durand and back in early June 2025. The trail was closed at Owen park but it was easy to get around it. Further down the trail there was a sign that about a mile or two of trail was to be closed from 6-9-25 to 7-2-25 which was after I was on it. At about 11 miles just north of Caryville the blacktop surface deteriorates and the trail becomes more adventurous. Just SW of Meridean the trail is closed for an impassable short flooded section.

Red Cedar State Trail

Super trail!

June, 2025 by dpate

I rode the Red Cedar State trail in early June 2025. It’s very well packed with no loose gravel and could easily be ridden on any width tires. It’s level and very scenic. I normally stick to paved trails but I thoroughly enjoyed this trail. I rate it five stars! Traveling cyclist Facebook

Old Abe State Trail

Great trail!

June, 2025 by dpate

I rode the entire trail in late May 2025 from Phoenix Park in Eau Claire north to Brunet Island State park and back. Just north of Eau Claire there are quite a few tarred cracks running across the trail for a mile or two of not so pleasant riding. Just south of Cornell there are some well marked frost heaves that are easily negotiated. Overall great trail that I rate 4.9999 stars. Traveling cyclist Facebook

Gandy Dancer Trail (Southern Section)

Trail surface Luck to Frederic

May, 2025 by ajbenoit17

The trail between Luck and Frederic is all loose gravel and rocks. Very soft. Maybe okay for a fat tire bike. May 29, 2025.

Brown's Creek State Trail (Willard Munger State Trail)

Fun!

May, 2025 by julie.hanson03

Fun smooth trail. Nicely paved. Great for biking. I would love to go back!!

Matthew Lourey State Trail (Willard Munger State Trail)

We rode from Hinkley to Duluth one day, stayed in Duluth 2 nights then returned back to Hinkley. This trail is very pretty and we appreciated the 2 areas with park pavilions next to the trail that included electricity and bathroom options.

Junction Trail

recently repaved

Nice little connector trail

St. Croix River Crossing Loop Trail

nice for walking

October, 2024 by arath1253

Can be windy on the bridges, don’t lose your head gear. I prefer to walk against traffic heading into Wisconsin from 36, and decline into Stillwater from Wisconsin.

Cattail State Trail

great trail

September, 2024 by fm65zbf5bq

We started in Almena on a gorgeous Tuesday in September. We were on a two up ATV. Went to Amery and back. Then did part of the extension in Barron Co to the 40 acre ATV Playground. Nice conditions on trail and groomed alongside. Pleasant varied scenery with several bridges. Lakes, rivers, bogs, woods, farmland. Can definitely understand why it is named Cattail trail! We stopped for a lunch in Turtle Lake at the Hotel Bar & Grill. Nice place right off the trail.
