Great Sauk State Trail

Wisconsin’s newest trail, the Great Sauk State Trail, is a paved 10.5-mile route adorned with picturesque bluffs, rivers, and prairies. Beginning at the base of an old railroad bridge on the south side of Sauk City, hikers and bikers can follow the trail as it winds through two historic towns nestled above the Wisconsin River.

Exciting future plans for the trail will make biking from the Mississippi River to the Wisconsin state capitol possible.

Happy trails to all our hikers, inliners, and cyclers. The trail is paved with asphalt, ensuring a smooth ride from start to sunset. History buffs, however, may enjoy the trail the most. The state’s newly constructed pathway heads into Badger Lands, formerly a massive WWII ammunition plant.
