| Elroy-Sparta State Trail |
32 miles |
Elroy to Sparta, near Tomah |
Limestone Screenings |
The trail runs on an old railroad ROW, and goes through three long tunnels. (1/4 mile, 1/4 mile, 3/4 mile) We would park
at a town on the trail and ride as far as we think we can, and then turn back. If a longer ride is desired, the
400 State Trail continues to the east and the
La Crosse River State Trail continues to the west.
Potentially 64+ miles of riding. |
