Reviewed by: lifeasjeff ,  Weekend Warrior

Summary:
The single track is fun and fast. There are not a lot of technical sections and the hills are modest so you can really build up some speed. However, the dense forest provides for lots of blind turns and you never know what to expect next. The bugs can be pretty bad here even during the hottest part of the day in dry weather.

Recommended Route:
Check out the bikes-N-boards website for a fairly up-to-date map of this and other local trails. Even though the map is quite new you will encounter lots of unmarked single track. The double track is good for getting around but is too wide to be challenging.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Hanson Lake

Ridden Trail:
Once a year

Reviewed by: Teiger ,  Weekend Warrior

Summary:
Fun trails.This is the third time I have rode them. The single track is a good test of your low speed handling skills. There is quite a bit of new single track that has been added since I had last rode it. The new trails are very tight and twisty. This new single track is not posted on the trail head map which made for an interesting ride.

Recommended Route:
Clockwise. There are two new single track trails to the left of the main trail that will lead you to the majority of the single track.

Ridden Trail:
Once a week

Reviewed by: Whitey , from Rhinelander WI

Summary:
Double track is maintained well by county. Lots of rolling hills and about five miles in length. Double track is good for intermediate and above. The single track is great but tread lightly, some hills are getting worn. If you find the right single track it takes you about 3/4 mile to pearch lake where there is a picnic area and toilets.

Recommended Route:
Go clock-wise on trail and hit single track on left about 1/2 mile in at top of hill. There are lots of turns but they all come back to the trail eventually. When back on double track there are some decent hills and one big one called "hering bone hill", you can bypass this with single track if you want. Watch for single track there is lots of it.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Hanson lake, clear lake, and many many more within one hour drive. Call the chamber or E-mail me to find locations.

Ridden Trail:
Ridden Once

Reviewed by: Wm. L. , from Madison, WI USA

Summary:
A nice place where riders with different levels of skill and fitness can show up and all have fun. Main trails are easy, and the single track has tricky spots.

Recommended Route:
All, but beginners or the less adventurous might like the wider paths.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Make sure you leave some $ in the donation box. It's very nice of them to dedicate some land to non-motorized use.

Reviewed by: John Lillis , from Kearney, Nebraska

Summary:
Beautiful second growth county-forest land. Faint traces of late-19th-century logging operations remain. Hilly. Take insect repellent in summer. Good to walk in non-biking seasons. Maps can seldom be found in rack at trail's start. Being in good shape helps - not an easy trail. Note: the portion of the trail west and south of the Washburn Lake Road is confusing even with a map - it's easy to get off on snowmobile trails and get lost on this part of the trail.

Recommended Route:
Counterclockwise beginning at parking area N of Washburn Lake

Other recommended trails in the same area:
No toilet or trashcan at trailhead.
