A short walk down from the bike trail gives some excellent views of the river and rocks on the opposite shore.

This is a fun trail for beginners; a great warm-up for the hillier Underdown trails. Not swampy. Beautiful view of the dells along the Prairie River.

I may have had a bad experience, horse flies were the worst I’ve seen in my life. That said, this trail seemed overgrown compared to what I’ve ridd… 3.5mi
