Parked on house Rd. Lots of weeds in the middle of the trail. Goes past a rifle range. Also a cool marsh. Cute things to see in Seymour then it connects to the Duck Creek trail
Rode this today and it was great. Nothing wrong with it. You wouldn't know you're on it until the end because there is no signage until the end and it connects with the Newton Blackmour trail.
If you're going to Baraboo for Circus World, don't miss this short, beautiful trail along the river. There are parks on either end. You have to ride on sidewalks near the downtown area & past CW. I stretched it out to 13 miles by going on city streets & doubling back for a ways.
If you need a break from the waterparks at the Dells this is a short drive on 4 lane road. I read the book "Ringlingville" and this trip made it come alive. This is probably not a "destination" trail but worth it if you're in the area.
Stopped purposely in Oconto to ride this trail. Mistakenly thought that by now the trail would have been cleaned up — that was a big NO. First, there’s no parking, no signs even indicating that it’s a trail and when we stopped to check it out it was nothing but a rutted path that was overgrown with a rusted rotting gate. Such a sad, forgotten trail.
I like this trail. I think the ozaukee interurban trail has more stops than this one. It does go along the highway but that doesn't bother me. If you're looking for something simple, paved, and not a lot of people this is it.
Thank you to all involved in the creation of this trail! A beautiful ride with open country/shaded paved paths with some road driving but it’s a very nice ride!
Just as the previous people mentioned, if you are looking for a scenic trail, then this is not a trail for you. It's what I call a "functional" trail. It serves a function to allow you to travel from one point to another. It parallels Douglas Ave (which is a main street in Racine) and I found it very useful for getting around the area and not have to worry so much about cars. The packed gravel is very easy to ride on. There are areas where you have to cross a road, but the busiest road has a stop light.
This is a stunning shady trail along a small river. You will hike or bike over several wooden footbridges. Stepping stones can take you over the river if you’re on foot. Mostly flat with a few elevation changes. A couple of road crossings. Great trail for kids. Gets very busy on weekends.
Pheasant Branch Conservancy is a wonderful place to bicycle, run, walk or go birding. The scenery is gorgeous. Part of the path runs along a creek and you bike over wooden footbridges. You may see cranes, geese, turkeys, deer or pheasants. Be sure to see the eagles’ nest! The bike path is great for all ages. Not a lot of elevation changes. It does get very busy on the weekends with families.
63 year old couple. In two weeks we rode 11 different trails in Michigan and Wisconsin and this was our favorite of the trip. Although not paved it was very smooth. The leaves that covered the trail seemed like riding on a carpet. Everyone should ride this trail. If it could be rated higher than five stars we would.
Rode the Pine River Trail from Lone Rock to Richland Center and back yesterday. It was an enjoyable ride with a couple caveats. The trail is set up more for snowmobilers than bicyclists. In general, this is not an issue. Going out of Lone Rock the trail is crush rocked with grass in the middle. Not a problem to pedal. You will ride through various types of scenery. There is a prairie with cacti between Lone Rock and Gotham, a unique sight in WI. The trail is along the Pine River, and its inlets and oxbow ponds, for much of the way. There are quite a few wooden bridges.
But at around the 9-10 mile mark we encountered equipment working on the trail. Basically, first they tilled it, which resulted in loose sand and dirt that was impossible for me to pedal through. So, we walked for a half mile or so. We then encountered a machine compacting the ground, which made it rideable again. Near Richland Center the trail is paved as it goes through parkland along the river. Had a great lunch at RC Tacos on the west end of town. We were able to pedal all the way back on the return trip, although it was a bit slow going in some stretches.
Overall, I recommend the trail, but be aware it is a bit rougher than some. Best ridden on a hybrid or mountain bike. You will likely have it much to yourself.
