Tuscobia State Trail

great trail

July, 2025 by rwild1988

All around smooth for an atv trail.

Omaha Trail

Oh, Omaha

June, 2025 by muzzikdir1

We ride trails. We love trails. No pavement required. We embrace the crushed surface. We love to bike. The Omaha trail is surrounded by beautiful scenery. It begins and ends in friendly towns. It was strewn with debris the day after a storm, yet we were undeterred. You can bike around debris. Sadly, you can’t miss the ridges, ruts and roughness of a once paved trail. Omaha stole our energy and joy of riding. We rode on because we don’t quit. But it wasn’t enjoyable and was only memorable for the relief of finishing and knowing we won’t ride Omaha again. It’s unfortunate. The 400 is nearby. It is a far better choice, as is just about any other trail.

Mariners Trail

Very, very nice!

June, 2025 by cybursleuth1

We drove our bikes from the Manitowoc Maritime Museum up to the harbor in Two Rivers. The ride goes right along side a very busy highway next to many beaches of Lake Michigan. So for us the only downside if the ride was traffic noise which meant we had to shout any communication. But the views are very beautiful. We saw more pelicans in one afternoon than probably the entirety of our lives. There are beautiful flowers along the trail, restrooms and places to access the beaches. For us it was the ideal ride. The West of the Lake Garden that you pass by is a must stop location, it is free but park by the bike racks and no carry-ins allowed.

The trail is well maintained and an easy ride. It follows the terrain. The views are beautiful. Lots of families either walking or biking.

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

Wild Goose State Trail

Since the tornado in May 2025 there is two miles of trees down not far from Juneau. It is impassable. I rerouted from prospect onto Hwy 26 to Swan Rd.

Fox River Trail (Route of the Badger)

I enjoyed the south half but the part through the city was not well or marked at all. Route would be vastly improved with some signage.

400 State Trail

Great trail!

June, 2025 by christyfry14

Rode the trail the last couple days, loved it. It’s in great shape and is pretty flat. Happened to be there when the Wheelmen were riding with the high wheels!

Newton Blackmour State Trail

Nice trail

June, 2025 by dpate

I rode the entire trail from Seymour to New London and back in early June 2025. The trail is in super good shape and rideable with a road bike. There was a tree down across the trail about a mile west of Shiocton but easy to maneuver around. A really nice quiet ride in the countryside with no death machines. I rate it five stars.

Green Circle Trail

Becoming a Favorite Trail

June, 2025 by tedijw

We’ve done this trail twice and really enjoy it. Was attending a conference in SP and decided to bring bikes along. Weather was perfect for riding so we took advantage and rode this trail. It was wonderful. Love the variety of ‘environments’ you bike through, especially Schmeekle Reserve. The train is well maintained. Only delay was waiting on a train for 45 minutes!!

Old Highway 131 Trail

Pretty ride

June, 2025 by syq888wxgy

Quick ride and beautiful views.

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.
