Route and access notes

A 40-mile Wisconsin state trail running south from Madison toward the Illinois border, combining paved and crushed-stone sections through farmland and wooded corridors.

Planning this route

The refreshed connected geometry is 64.7 km, matching Wisconsin DNR's 40-mile route. The Stewart Tunnel is closed until further notice because of falling rock; use the signed Tunnel Road detour and do not enter the tunnel.

Access and source limitations

The trail is open year-round. Wisconsin requires a state trail pass for bicyclists and in-line skaters aged 16 or older. Surface and seasonal conditions vary between the paved and crushed-stone sections.
