Kettle Moraine Forest

5-6 trails with difficulty ratings on trail head map Easy to very difficult
Hwy 23 West from Sheboygan and Plymouth (East from Fond Du Lac) to Hwy A. Take Kettle Moraine scenic trail past 'Ol Wade house, follow scenic trail signs to trail head
Summary: These trails aren't too bad, all the posted routes are fairly easy, not much for technical stuff. Good scenery. There is some fairly new singletrack that spurs off of the purple trail, its not marked on the trailhead map, but look and you will find it, its faster and more technical than the regular trails. Try to go during the week, on the weekends all the spandex idiots with $1000 bikes that they dont know how to ride will be in your way. Also, if you park in the shelter lot down the road from the trailhead you wont have to pay the fee if youre porr like me.
Recommended Route: Do all the labeled trails, then find the unmarked stuff and explore.
Other recommended trails in the same area: Glacier park in West Bend, New Fane.

Summary: Mix one part singletrack trail and one part rail-to-rail. Keep the elevation changes from the singletrack, and keep the width of the rail to trail and you've got these trails.
We rode two of the loops, the outer and one of the inner trails. It was fast, it was not a challenge technically, and it wasn't necessarily easy to find either.
These trails had almost no one there when we arrived, while we were there, and when we left. It would be safe to absolutely FLY through these trails. There are some fun places to do that on these trails, and you can even do it next to the person next to ya too.
A good place for a beginner, or someone who wants an easy day.
Recommended Route: Take 'em all.
Other recommended trails in the same area: Sorry - From out of state.

Summary: Not a very technical course at all. Most of the routes will have a few hills that will get your heart pumping but nothing very difficult. The logs placed on the path to help with erosion can either be an opportunity to get some air or if you aren't in to that a pain to avoid. Need to watch for hikers on the trail if they aren't paying attention to the bikers and watch out for some random piles of horse crap. I would say Green is the most difficult since it has a few nice climbs and Pink is the most technical although it is way too short. Don't even bother going on brown. Trails are in good condition and fun to ride even though they are not difficult at all.
Recommended Route: Red, Green, Purple for a cool down, and Pink to close it out.
Other recommended trails in the same area: Glacial Blue Hills and Ice Age (make sure you check out all the singletrack paths that sprout off the main trail)

Summary: If you read about this from a Wisconsin Trail Book- know that this is not a technical trail as others have also stated. It's hilly and will shake your bike a lot. It would be ideal for someone looking to exercise for mountain biking.
Recommended Route: All of them are pretty much the same, just some single track is wider than others.
Other recommended trails in the same area: Go to the Southern Kettle it has more true single track, with rocky/rooty hill fun.

Summary: This is not a very technical trail. That is probably why I like it. Some rolling speed can be obtained on the backstretch, and some little hills to get your heat pumping. Recommend calling first to make sure the trail is open. This trail reminds me of a smaller version of the Namequeon Trail near Cable, WI. 4 out of 5 for Wisconsin Trails.
Recommended Route: Outer loop, middle loop, shorter loop and then the outer again.
Other recommended trails in the same area: Southern Kettles
