Mountain Bay Trail


This 83-mile trail is a mix of asphalt, crushed stone, grass and gravel and runs through mostly scenic and wooded areas, and some open farmland. If you’re up for an even longer adventure into a more heavily wooded setting, divert in Pulaski and head north through Shawano County snowmobile zone “5B” to the Nicolet State Trail head in Gillett. From there, the 89-mile trail continues north to the state line.
