Trail conditions in Whole route · model estimate, not a field inspection

WetA few short sections may be wet, but no major muddy areas were detected.

Route and access notes

Wisconsin's Buffalo River State Trail between Mondovi and Fairchild, assessed section by section for modeled cycling conditions on its rough shared corridor.

Planning this route

Wisconsin DNR defines a 36-mile former-railroad trail between Mondovi and Fairchild through Eleva, Strum and Osseo. The refreshed relation measures 58.45 km as one connected line with 53 primary ways, no alternatives and no unresolved members.

Access and source limitations

The rough trail favors wider tires and is shared with walkers, equestrians, ATVs and UTVs, with snowmobiles in season. Ride visibly and defensively, leash pets, carry the required pass, respect hunting activity and follow county winter-status notices.
