The Tamaracks OHM Trail, Wisconsin

Last Known Status

Closed For Season

This trail system features 22 miles of mixed skill OHM trails that are marked and rated. The Green Loop is the most heavily maintained and caters to the novice rider. The Blue Loop is less maintained but is has a little of everything including a few small jumps. The Black Loop recently opened in May 2021 and offers advanced riders a slow, bumpy, narrow trail with logs, boulders, off camber hills and lots of trees (Barkbusters handguards are recommended!)

The trailhead is located at Tamarack Springs Campground which is surrounded by mature trees and features a camp host with nine primitive sites spread along both sides of a trout stream (six on the north side and three on the south side). Each site comes with a picnic table and fire ring, and a vault toilet and hand water pump are onsite. Recent improvements include a loading ramp and a newly constructed 24x40 pavilion. The campground accommodates tents and small trailers and is open May through October (weather permitting). Sites are first come, first serve.

This area is also ATV and UTV friendly. Mix it up and spend a week dirt biking, hiking, ATV and UTV riding, cycling, fishing and more!

Be sure to give a shoutout to the Land Over Dualsporter's Club for these awesome new trails!
