Friday, May 24, 2024

Other Names

Wild Rivers ATV Campground, Rice Lake, Douglas County, Washburn County, Barron County, Namakagon River

Last Known StatusOpen

Over 100 miles long, this old abandoned C&NW (Chicago and North Western) railroad grade has been converted into a multiple use trail that runs north and south through Douglas, Washburn and Barron counties. The trail winds through scenic woods and has several creek and river crossings.

The terrain is mostly flat, hard packed gravel with some sandy sections but is a good place to bring a beginner or the family. Visitors should note that this trail system is not open to dirt bikes or motorcycles.

There are several staging areas but for those looking for camping and direct trail access check out Wild Rivers ATV Campground. The campground has 10 RV sites and 5 tent sites, each with a BBQ grill and picnic table. Other amenities include a large outdoor pavilion, free WIFI, and restrooms with hot showers. Reservations are recommended which can be made online.
