Biking

For outdoor adventurers up to the challenge, Wisconsin’s mountain biking scene promises hilly elevation, winding trails and miles upon miles of varying terrain. Weave through log piles, coast down steep bluffs or set a record time on your favorite loop while your friends cheer you on. There are plenty of ways to ride and race! 

Used by locomotives for decades, the Elroy-Sparta State Trail is a railway turned rec route for bikers, runners, hikers and snowmobilers. Ride through 32 miles of awe-inspiring trail, thousands of feet of shady rock tunnels and five different Wisconsin communities. Trust us, this trip belongs on every biker’s bucket list.  

Your biking adventures in Wisconsin don’t brake when the forecast calls for snow. Bundle up, gather your gang and hop onto some fat tire bikes to conquer fresh powder, icy patches and even venture onto frozen lakes. With fat tire biking trails in all corners of the state, your next winter outing is right around the corner.

No car? No problem. Urban areas here are bicycle meccas—think dedicated bike lanes, commuter paths, rental programs and major mileage for your crew to cover. With other bicyclists around you, explore city streets and pit-stop eats, connecting you to Lake Michigan’s landmarks, downtown destinations and the communities next door.
