Loved the trail. So many places to rest. Beautiful parks. Marked very well. Awesome to be able to make a loop.
We walked/hiked this trail for 15 miles. Thought the trail was well maintained. Our only complaint was there are no places to sit and rest. Did make suggestions to put some benches along the way but didn't get a response back.
Great trail. Very peaceful, tranquil and scenic. Many lakes to view along the way.
We started walking the trail on the corner of S. Main St and W. Oshkosh St near Shawano's downtown. There's ample parking and a trailhead there. We headed west on a 4 mile loop that was indicated on the outdoor map. The trail was flat and easy to navigate, mostly paved with granite. It wasn't a scenic route and wasn't well marked. There were times when the gravel trail ended and you had to walk on the road. We had to refer to the TrailLink map and Google maps often to stay on course.
This is my wife's new favorite trail EVER, and we've done many of the famous ones. It is crushed stone, so of course it's not as fast as asphalt, but it is in fantastic shape, wide enough to ride and converse, and like all rail trails, flat for a gentle sight-seeing cruise speed. There was the START of a chipmunk hole, only a divot, really, but someone put a warning flag on it. One spot was soft, and one a very slight drainage rut, neither consequential, yet someone had put out a flag. The approach to and the the trestles themselves impeccably maintained, and any shoulder or maintenance work had been replanted in native sedges so invasives were kept at bay. And scenery! Lakes , century old white pines, tamarack/spruce bogs, deer, turkeys...we can't wait to return. I hope those responsible see this review. Thanks!!!!
not a recumbent tryke trail, great for fat bike mountain bikes or hiking maybe, but I had to turn around after half a mile, already walked up two steep loose gravel hills
Wife and I took a ride on Sunday with our electric bikes from Eland to Bowler and back. Covered approximately 24 miles. It had rained heavily the day before in the area, but the trail had held up pretty nicely. The majority of this segment is crushed rock and well compacted. There were parts of it that have been overgrown with grass and weeds, but not to bad. My wife’s bike is a cruiser style bike with 2” tires, she had no trouble navigating on the trail. Plenty of scenery changes, with parts of the trail passing by farms, dips into some heavy canopy forest and a covered bridge/stream area right outside the Western edge of Bowler. A very relaxing bike ride, there are a number of stops to cross various county roads, So be aware of any traffic that may be in the way.
Great trail for year round biking and hiking.
First time on this trail & it was great. Wildlife was plentiful and condition of trail was really good. Lots of twists & turns so meeting others can be a little tricky. A few road miles but sparsely traveled by cars. But the variety - boardwalks, asphalt, crushed rock, tree lined, urban, rivers, lakes - you name it & you probably see I on this trail. Great signage too … highly recommend.
We were enjoying the wonderful trail in Portage County (Plover to past Amherst) Everything was well maintained, and all the trees that had come down in the storms last week were cut, moved, and we had full trail access. We knew the moment we hit Waupaca County. 3 foot tall weeds sprouted in the middle of the trail, and things were not as pristine. After having to dismount bikes several times to navigate around trees, we made the decision to turn around. Very disappointing!
Took my first ride on this trail from Birnamwood to Eland where it crosses the Mountain Bay trail. Great ride and despite recent heavy rains it was dry and firm. Will take this trail further as time permits.
