This easy-graded rail trail invites hikers and cyclers in spring, summer and fall, and snowmobilers in winter.

This 14.3-mile trail is laid on an abandoned rail bed, and gives riders a chance to enjoy the beauty of 250-foot river bluffs without having to ride over them. It gives access to the restored Railroad Depot at the corner of Seminary Street and Orange Street (US Hwy 14). It also allows passage through an arboretum and the restored savannah prairies at the site of the old mill dam. The dam, removed to allow a free flowing river, now is the site of riffels where anglers fish and canoeists can continue their down river journey. The arboretum is part of the bike trail enhancement. The site has nearly 200 varieties of trees and shrubbery nestled along the Pine River just south of the Seminary Street Bridge. Above the Seminary Street Bridge, the remnant bed of the Mill Pond has dried and is planted in tall prairie grass. Comprising of nearly 60 acres, the area is intersected by a historic suspended footbridge accessible from the dike bike trail.

For a challenge you can take on several bluff-top climbs on a 15-mile on-road option which, while mostly on paved roads, features 1.7 miles of primitive gravel on Cardinal Crest Road through a tunnel of trees.

Probably the most refreshing stretch is on WI 60 as the road hugs the edge of Bogus Bluff next to the Wisconsin River. This new crushed-limestone rail-trail with several nice town parks makes for a pleasant family ride; or, you can get a workout by taking on the bluffs via the paved and gravel road route.

Scenery includes farm, river, and marsh views on the rail-trail; farm, woods, ridge-top, and Wisconsin River views on the road route.

Parking and access is available at the Village of Lone Rock, the unincorporated community of Gotham, Twin Bluffs and in the city of Richland Center. The trail is free and open to the public. The trail does not allow unauthorized motorized vehicles.
