Map of the trails and distances

Welcome to our Trails

Lake Eleven trail is a wonderful trail that has lots of single file and old logging roads. You will cross 6 creeks as you follow the trail. It's name came from an old logging camp years ago. Once at Lake Eleven there is a spot to rest. This trail will intersect with 5 other trails to mix up you're adventure.

Buddy's trail follows a short ride on FR 554, until it hooks up with the 4 wheelers trail, for about a minute, before it darts back into an old logging road. 3/4 of a mile down this trail you will see Spirit trail to the west. Buddy's trail once again meets up with a 4 wheelers trail for a couple miles, until you turn north on a logging road. This goes for 1 1/2 miles until you come to Pirus road, and then Sawyer road, follow for about 1 mile and then your back on a forest service road, and meet up with Lake Eleven trail about 1/2 mile from Bear Claw Camp.

Katie's trail starts as you leave Bear Claw. You Follow the road for 1/4 mile then onto an old logging road. You will come across a wood walkway. This meets up with Tower trail going west. Stay on Katie's Trail going east and you will see Lost Trail heading north. After you cross Sawyer road you can either take shortcut B which is only 40 feet long, or continue on as you will run into Lake Eleven Trail either way.

Tower Trail is a lot of logging roads and snowmobile trails. You will also find shortcut C and D on this trail. On this trail you will have  options to Lost Trail or Two Lakes. If you stay on Tower Trail it takes you to Polack Road and then to Tower Road, where you will find an old Fire Range Tower. From here your 1 1/2 miles to Perkinstown Winter Sports Camp,at Paul's Campground. Spirit trail starts here.

Spirits Trail starts at the Tower it goes into Paul's campground and then exits onto Winter Sports Road, for a 1/2 mile, and then back into the woods, where you will find single lane trails. You will crossover FR 554, and then two creeks before it connects to Buddy's Trail.

Lost Trail is a short trail with a creek and a scenic Pine Forest we all call Sherwood Forest, and two big mounds we call our Grand Tetons. Lost Trail is between  Katies  and Tower Trail.

Two Lakes Trail starts near Lake Eleven and follows a logging road until you come to Perkinstown Ave. Follow West, you will pass two lakes, Richter on your left and Eska on your right. Take a left on Sawyer road heading south, for about 3/4 of a mile, until you turn right on a logging road, which will lead you to Tower Trail.

Dancer's Trail starts off of Lake Eleven Trail heading south, as you will follow a snowmobile trail that has many small hills and curves. It crosses FR553 twice and then you will come to Grover Road. Follow Grover Road for 3/4 of a mile and then look for a trail heading south,  you will find single file trails, crossing two creeks. This trail is the most challenging with steep hills, and rough terrain. On top of a hill you will come to an old logging road, which connects to Two Lakes Trail.

We have 4 Shortcuts A, B, C, D. We use yellow shortcuts because we were running out of colors.

• Shortcut A  starts at Bear Claw and follows Sawyer Road for 1/2  mile  before you come to a single file trail. It's a nice single file trail for most of the trip, with one creek crossing. You will cross FR 553 before meeting up with Lake Eleven Trail.

• Shortcut B is only 40 feet long, but if your in a hurry it saves you five minutes.

• Shortcut C is a nice trail, but not really that much shorter, just a different view.

• Shortcut D is a nice shortcut if your looking to get back to Paul's Campground before dark or rain. It runs into Polack Road, which takes you to tower Road & the Tower.

Once we get settled in our new campground, There will be more shortcuts and trails. Paul's Campground is on Taylor County Land, They have about 40 acres there. Everybody we talk to about letting us use this parking lots was very supportive about our plan, so we envision many improvements over the years.

99% of our trails are on Federal Forest Land. They have very strict rules to keep the forest primitive. No picnic tables, no improvements to the trails, no trail head sign at Bear Claw, or places to leave maps. We can not use the Ice Age Trail. They did allow us to put up trail signs, with the help of Sean Duffy, Jim Miller and Tim Vetter from the Federal Forest people. Now that were on county land we can do a trail head sign, and put up a 3 foot map, and a QR code on a bulletin board, etc.. 

Taylor County Board members agreed to a 1 year trail to see how things go. We are responsible for any damage, including tearing up the parking lot, so please be respectful on Taylor County property, and while riding in the Chequamegon National Forest.
