Mariners Trail

Spectacular

May, 2026 by kriekkoff_tl

I biked from Manitowoc to Two Rivers and back. The trail was well maintained and well marked. The views were spectacular. The road noise was not as bad as a previous review. There was no clear indication of where trail began and where it ended.

Devil's River State Trail

This is one of the smoothest riding trails you will find anywhere. Abundant marker posts so you always know how far to the next town. The stretch from Denmark to Maribel is mostly wooded, while the stretch south of that has more agriculture.

Hillsboro State Trail

Nice ride

May, 2026 by ellaqk_tl

We rode the Hillsboro Trail today and fully enjoyed it. It was our third ride in three days. A post had mentioned the gravel that caused instability but we had no problems other than for 2/10 to 3/10th of a mile so virtually nothing. Possibly, the gravel is more settled than when first placed. We rode onto the 400 trail a little ways as well. Our only disappoint of the ride was that the brewery wasn’t open on Mondays which was today. We would recommend this ride especially if you are looking for a short out and back.

Pine River Trail

Electric Bike Friendly

May, 2026 by mirandafritschler

Not scenic by any means, but the quality of the trail is nice as of May 2026. 1/3 Asphalt, 1/3 Limestone, 1/3 Sand. I would say they fixed most problematic surface issues that any other review complained about but like any other track with multiple mediums, always be mindful for chipmunk holes and washout. The path from the park in Richland Center to the start of the main path is a little confusing because it’s not clearly marked, and you do go through a busy intersection so make sure to map it out if unfamiliar. Enjoy!

Muskego Recreation Trail

Beautiful trail with varying gravel conditions

May, 2026 by nkanute

great gravel cycling! Everyone complaining must be riding some skinny tires or should stick to the oak leaf- this was a very fun ride (I run 40mm semi slick tires and had no issues)

Foundation Trail

Very cool forest trail

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!

Wiouwash State Trail

mostly a nice trail

May, 2026 by upland.ladles_1i

from Medina to Allenville 05/19/26 there’s a section between county II and county T that’s very muddy especially by the gravel pit it’s always muddy and from Allenville to Oshkosh it’s a better trail

Devil's River State Trail

Nice Ride

May, 2026 by 96dpcqz4dg

First time on this trail and it was a nice ride. My husband and I rode the whole trail starting from the south end to Denmark and back. There were a couple parks along the way as well as a bench here and there. Trees, rolling fields and a few bridges were the highlights of the scenery but the thing I enjoyed the most was how quiet it was. Even the roads we had to cross were quiet. The trail is very well kept and very well marked (quarter mile markers too).
