New Trail Reviews

This is my 1st time visiting the Ashland area and was looking for a place to ride where I didn't have to worry about the no shoulder roads and the 45 mph cars that would go zooming past.

I was pleasantly surprised.
LOVED that at the park / trail head there was a repair station for bikes.

Parked at Centuria, WI trailhead. There is a newish facility with indoor flush toilets, so that's a bonus, and plenty of parking. Rode north about 14 miles and turned around and came back. Trail surface was in good shape, hard-pack crushed stone. A few road crossing but nothing too bothersome. The scenery was ok, nothing great but the trail was generally fine. I used 38 mm wide tires on my Trek Domane and they were plenty wide for the trail surface.

My husband and I rode this entire trail on a beautiful October afternoon. We parked our car at the Dewey Point Trailhead which is a nice paved parking area with two pavilions and restrooms with flushing toilets. Although running parallel with a busy road the boardwalk path it’s very nice, lighted in the evenings, and has views of the wetlands on one side. From the end of the boardwalk, you must find your way through some low traffic paid streets to continue on the trail. Signage would be very helpful here. The portion of the trail that runs along the Wabash river is nothing more than a gravel road that passes underneath interstate 70 twice. It is rough and some areas. The remaining section of the trail is crushed limestone along a levy on the edge of West Terre Haute. runparallel with the Wabash river. Is on south old gravel.

Yesterday was my first time biking the Michael N. Castle C&D Canal Trail.
What a beautiful trail with lots of great scenery. I started late, so I only went from Delaware City to Bear. I will definitely go back. There are a couple watering holes along the trail too if you feel the urge to rehydrate.

Enjoyed this ride through downtown Hickory. You do have to cross streets several times and switch sides of the road but it is all doable. It is a rather short trail, although it appears construction is under way to connect this trail to the Riverwalk Trail on the Catawba River which will really make a nice length.

Nice gravel trail. Started at Kennebunk and headed north. Mostly shaded. A trail through the woods without much to see besides trees. Stopped at the end where it turned to city streets. No bike lanes and lots of traffic so we turned around. Would recommend skipping that part.

Rode the trail from Lebanon till it got too cold. About 5 miles and then turned around and came back. Nice trail for a fat tire E bike. A few bumps but not too bad. Was very busy when we rode, but it was plenty wide enough that it did not cause a problem. Mostly shaded ride. Would have liked to go the entire distance.

We loved MOST of this trail. Started in the Eastern parking area near the Va. LMI site. It was a lovely trail/ride to the west parking area, past Ewing. As another reviewer mentioned, the trail heading west, past the west parking area, became grassy and eventually dangerous with large ruts and difficulty seeing the trail. We turned at that point and didn’t go to the trails end. We would love to see that portion of the trail brought back to safety! Along the trail we saw beautiful farmland and buffalo. Didn’t see a bear, but did see fresh bear scat on the trail. Met no other bikers, but a few walkers/runners. All in all a GREAT experienne of my favorite tails so far. Had a WONDERFUL lunch @ The Whistke Pig in Ewing!.

No on road riding required and there are viaducts so you don’t have to cross any busy streets. If you can take this ride in the fall, you’ll find it spectacular but it’s great spring summer and fall because of the wonderful shade. Most of the trail is wooded and you go by multiple small lakes.

We rode from Pittsfield to Adams and back. Very nice trail. 50% shaded. Ate lunch at AJ‘s at Adams. Nice restaurant in an old train depot. Limited parking at the beginning in Pittsfield. Start your ride at the next parking area to the north. Lots of lakes and rivers running next to the trail. Asphalt the entire length of the trail.

Stayed in Inverness to do a benefit ride on this trail. When I arrived I took the north route which was about 33 miles both ways. Awesome scenery and lots of tree covering over the trail. On the second day I took the south part which was almost 50 miles both ways. Once again it was a great ride. I stayed at the Central Motel which is right on the trail about 1 1/2 miles from downtown Inverness. Would like to do this trail again and will probably do the fund raiser again next year.

Completed my final leg of this trail by riding from London to Cottage Grove today. Trail conditions were very good, however the bridges can use some maintenance. All have matting across them to assist in preventing flats, however watch your approach, there can be some serious bumps getting onto & off the bridges. Having ridden the entire trail now, eastern portion several times; it’s just my opinion that the western portion would be my recommendation. East of Douseman the trail is paved, however much of it is in need of maintenance to remedy cracks.

First time on this trail on a beautiful October day. I was impressed with the scenery and variety of alternate trails along the way that included hiking and mountain bike trails. While I accessed the trail from the southern trailhead, there are two alternate access points between Cambridge and Rockdale along highway B, containing picnic tables and facilities. Well done Dodge Co. park system.

Hey it’s me again. I want to say watch out for loose gravel! I fell last week after crossing the road. Be careful! Great trail though but lately we ride the nearby country roads.

Lake Clear to Floodwood for about an 18 mile out and back ride. A beautiful COLD Fall morning. What a nice trail! I judge my trails by if I can look at the scenery as it goes by… No potholes, no bumps, no obstacles to worry about here! Such a great enjoyable ride! About 40 or so riders all day. I will say parking was limited where we parked. The Fall colors were stunning and scenery beautiful. One of our top trails in our book!
