@@davefoley2825 I have many trails on my channel, take a look at my playlists if you're interested in any of the trails I've done See if you like them before you go on them

You're welcome! I unfortunately have Jury Duty coming up, but I will try to do more videos in the south Wisconsin Area. I do have the whole Glacial Drumlin Trail on video, if you're interested.

@@wisconsinrailstotrailscycl4277 I see that you have been to the Bearskin trail in Minocqua. That is a nice one. Have you done the Manitowish Waters bike trail? I think it is the best trail in Wisconsin. I have been doing bike vacations up there since 2020. I am going back up there in a few weeks, I love it up there. I am from West Allis and I ride the Hank Aaron and Oak Leaf trails almost every day. Good luck with your jury duty, I just had that in March.

@@jongolsteyn9680 Unfortunately, there is a lot of crime in Milwaukee,Wisconsin. When I'm done with jury duty, I'll ride, and video that trail. The Elroy Sparta trail is also a nice trail, too, with 3 tunnels on the trail. The bearskin trail is also nice, too. I was up at Minocqua when I was called for jury duty and was about to do a 72 mile trail up there but had to come back Stay tuned for more videos, and watch for the video on that trail soon, cheers!

@@wisconsinrailstotrailscycl4277 I have never had any issues when I ride down to the lakefront and beyond in the Milwaukee area. I think it is pretty safe, especially when riding in the morning.

I just did this trail today along with the Yahara River Trail. 38 miles total and I loved it. What a great trail.

@@tome4285 I have the whole rote on my playlist if you're interested. I do these videos to connect the routes together

I have the whole Wild Goose State Trail all on video, my friend. I have the whole trail on the playlist on my "Wisconsin Rails to Trails Cycler" channel. If you type in the YT search "Wild Goose State Trail Playlists", you will find the whole trail on video playlist. The trail has a Trailhead right off of Hwy 60, take Hwy 26 north to Hwy 60, and go east on Hwy 60. In about a mile going east, you will run into the trailhead for parking on the trail. It's a pretty big trail, so you may want to "piece meal", do the trail in segments. There is no street travel if you start at the trailhead. I just did he trail segment south for demonstration purposes. Take a peek at the playlist trail videos to make up your mind whether you want to take the trail or not. I hope this information helps you.

@@wisconsinrailstotrailscycl4277 Thanks.

I enjoy Wisconsin, I enjoy the different trails in Wisconsin, and I enjoy making the videos! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, I have more views from different trails in WI if you're interested, Thanks for commenting!

I don't get many views on my channel, but I think the videos are pretty good, if you're into the trails.

Glad you liked the video!

Milwaukee has nice bicycle trails, I'll be probably riding more in Wisconsin soon!

You're looking at Rock Lake, on a bench setting off the Glacial Drumlin Trail in Lake Mills, Wisconsin.

@@wisconsinrailstotrailscycl4277 Ok when it was under construction the project website said it would end at North Ave a little less than a mile SW of where it ends. I can't find anywhere the reason why it was cut short. Even it's original length only had it at 3.5 miles not it's only around 2.8 miles.

@@dvferyance It's a small trail regardless, keep me posted for changes if they happen.

It took approximately 2 - 2 1/2 hours to complete all the trails (one-way). It's a nice, scenic trail to bicycle on, and there are a few hills to go through, but highly recommended to ride. But remember, a Wisconsin State Trail Pass is required to go on the Pecatonica State Trail.

See my Jane Adams, Badger State Trail videos, maybe this will give you a little taste of what to expect if you're going that way, but there is a detour of the short tunnel on the Badger State Trail due to to debris safety issues from the rocks falling from the top of the tunnel. Good luck to you on your journey, and I hope the best for you! I also have the Glacial Drumlin Trail videos on my channel, as well as going from Racine (south of Milwaukee) to the north side of Chicago, if you're going this way.

The bike I ride is a Schwinn, it is in the picture overlooking Lake Michigan on the picture to the left.

The camera I'm using for the bicycle videos is an Ion Air Pro Bicycle camera. It fits snug on the handlebars from the fitting included when I bought the camera. What is your thoughts on the way the camera worked?

@@wisconsinrailstotrailscycl4277 It works well.

@@BeezodogsPlace More videos coming soon, I hope you like the State Trails--I will be all over Wisconsin riding & recording them.

The Hank Aaron is really a nice trail, it goes over Wisconsin State Fair Park by bicycle bridge, by AmFam Field where the Milwaukee Brewers play, and end up at the Mitchell Domes off of 27th Street. It's really a nice ride!

@@wisconsinrailstotrailscycl4277 Thanks for suggesting that trail. I'll keep it in mind for the future and I'll check out your video on it too.

I will be making more bicycle videos soon, I have to take care of some business--and when I clear the matter up, more will come. Glad you enjoyed the video!

The trail that headed east bound looked a little sketchy from Butterfield Road. That's as far as I went, I'm from Wisconsin, and didn't know the safety of the rest of the trail going east bound.

I'm pretty backed up right now, with many things to do. I have no time unfortunately right now to make more trail videos at this time, but I will once I catch up on my projects--I hope that answers your question.

There was the longer trail I did, when I went from Racine, WI to the north suburbs of Chicago, IL. That trail took me a couple of weekends to do. This trail also took me a couple of weekends to do as well, and it is a fun trail to ride on. Glad you enjoyed the videos!

At that time, I did the whole 110 mile trails, from Onalaska, to Reedsburg, WI. The trail was a lot of fun to ride on. The tunnels on that part of the trail were really fascinating as well. The grade of the trail makes it tiring, along with the humidity on hot days. See my playlist with all the trails!

@@luv2kamp930 There is a camp ground at the third tunnel (about 3/4 mile west) that you could stay at (Tunnel Trail Campground). I've stayed there, it's a good place to stay for the night.

This is why I've recorded these videos, to get youngsters, families, and the like interested in riding the "rails to trails" bicycle paths. I've always liked bicycling, and will hopefully soon be recording more Wisconsin State Trails when it gets warmer outside. Glad you liked the video. By the way, you may like the Elroy-Sparta Trail playlist--it has 3 tunnels on the trail that are really fascinating to see, but the video just simply is not the same as being there.

Yes, it does. The best trail in WI, I think, is the Elroy-Sparta trail with the 3 tunnels on the trail.

Yes, it was. It was abandoned as a rail road some time ago, and was turned into a State bicycle trail. Where the trail begins in Clyman, to the south, is where the rail road used to branch off to go to it's old train journey to Fond Du Lac.

Abandoned by CNW in late 80s.

Look at the playlists on my You Tube channel, friend. Then look up the Jane Adam's trail to West Allis, WI and you will see the whole Illinois/Wisconsin trail in its entirety. You can Google the location of where the trailhead starts to begin your journey.

The trail takes you ALMOST all the way to Janesville.The trail stops at about hwy. 26 and a little north of I39/90.

Thank you. This trail was a fun trail to ride on. I thought the video was good, too. Some people have opinions of their own, I guess.

Wisconsin Rails to trails cycler Yeah I guess! I watched all the vids from Dodgeville to Madison because in thinking about doing an out and back from Verona to Dodgeville. I’ve only gone as far as Mt. Horeb

@@oatmealman1694 If you get the chance, go up the mountain from the middle of the trail (Blue Mound State Park) and go up to the observation towers and view the scenery from way up there. I've got a video from up there, but it's not the same as being there (the video doesn't give the view from up there the respect it deserves). I also have the connecting route from the Military Ridge Trail to the Cheese Trail, if interested. The trails unfortunately might be closed at this time due to CV19.

Wisconsin Rails to trails cycler Blue Mounds is closed. The trails aren’t yet.

I was on the bicycle which is included in the photograph to the left. The time was sped up on the video to make the video move along faster since these trails span through a good portion of the state, and are time-taking.

In Illinois on the Jane Addams trail--when I rode on it, the trail was kept up, was in general overall good shape, and was fun to ride on. When one gets to the WI State Line to the Badger State Trail going Northbound, the trail is not kept up, grass and weeds run wild, and worse yet, you have to pay for a pass to ride on the WI trail! In my opinion, IL has far better bicycle trails from rail lines, they're free to go on, and they are kept up. I'm really impressed with the trails down there.

Wisconsin Rails to trails cycler the box to collect the pass is gone. It’s actually worse now than when you did your video.

When I was younger, it took me approximately four hours to get from Waukesha, WI to Cottage Grove. I'm older now (can't do it like THAT anymore) , and the trail has gone through some changes on the western half section due to weather conditions, I think. Also, it is advised to put some bug spray on when bicycling on the trail, due to all the deer flies & mosquitos. Unfortunately, at this point I've been busy with my van build currently, so I haven't been doing any trail rides at this time. The Military Ridge Trail in Verona, WI is also a suggested nice trail for you as well. If you get the chance, go on that trail, and if possible, turn off the exit trail at Blue Mound State Park, and go up the trail, sign in at the registration station, & camp out there at the Blue mound State Park. Then, go on their observation deck. I have a video about both observation decks there, but it doesn't give the view proper justice as it is just being there. You feel like you are on top of the world!

!t's like -15 in WI right now, the birds or other animals aren't even out--it's even to cold for wild life!

I am be in Florida now, but I was still thinking of you. I will be sleeping in my van tonight, low 0f 57. Very comfortable night.

The DNR, over time as I understand it, is going to eventually "connect" a lot of the trails & pathways together to form one big trail; either east to west or north to south. The best trail right now I can think of at this time for you is the trail that starts in Reedsburg (see my videos on the trails), and goes 105 miles through bicycle trails off the old rail line which provided railroad service back in the day. There are 4 different trails "The Reedsburg '400', The Elroy Sparta (3 tunnels on this trail), La Crosse River, and Great River State Trails" that interconnect with each other. You need to purchase a daily or yearly trail pass in order to ride on the State Trails like this one, though.You can search the internet to see which trails are where, and which ones are the trail you would like to go on. There are also trails which go from the border of Wisconsin down into Illinois, and seem to go on FOREVER, if that is your thing (See my videos on the Prairie/Fox River Trails). You can also go on Google Maps/Menu/Bicycling to get a view on where all the trails you may want to go on are as well. I hope this helps you, and I hope you find the trail you are looking for.

@@wisconsinrailstotrailscycl4277 Thank you. This is the type of support I was seeking. I am looking for a trail that I can ride out and back on and burn a week. I saw some trails northbound near LaCross or Tomah (where I can take the Empire Builder up from Chicago to start the ride.) I am still researching. My preference would be flatter, rails to trails type of terrain. Anyway, I will keep researching and figure something out.

I enjoyed the trail, but unfortunately there was a major storm in the area that took down trees & did damage to the trail with respect to the bridges, this is why the trees are in the way. It was a nice peaceful trail though. I remember someone left the gate open on a farm next to the trail near there that day, and the cows were all over the place.
