From the picturesque rolling hills in the southwest to the premier mountain biking trails in the north, Wisconsin offers an outstanding ride for all levels of biking enthusiasts. Biking in Wisconsin is also a great way to explore our state’s rich history.

The trail ends near the Wade House, an 1850’s stagecoach inn operated by the Wisconsin Historical Society. Remember too that anywhere you go on our miles of linear bike trails, mountain bike trails, and rural paved roads, plenty of friendly Wisconsinites and cheese options will be on the road to welcome you. Use this guide to plan your road biking adventure in Wisconsin and enjoy the journey! I’m excited that your travels have led you to our beautiful state.
