Biking
The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest provides a wide variety of biking opportunities ranging from well-maintained and signed mountain biking trail loops to more challenging cross-country travel. Besides Wilderness Areas and specifically designated hiker-only trails (including the North Country National Scenic Trail and Ice Age Trail), the entire National Forest is open to bikes. This includes closed, gated and blocked roads unless the road is specifically closed to bicycles. Many of the designated mountain bike trails are also open to other uses including, motor vehicle travel, ATV's, ORV's, snowmobiles, hikers, and horses so please be careful and share the trail.
