The Green Circle Trail, a Gem Encircling Stevens Point!

As I have mentioned before, Stevens Point has always been a great place for biking.  With very few high traffic bottlenecks, level terrain and ample shops and attractions close to any part of town that you live in.

 

In 1996, the city added another unique attraction when they developed the Green Circle Trail which helped to join together many of the natural areas in and around the city especially concentrating along the Wisconsin and Plover rivers and all of the great scenery associated with them.

The Green Circle Trail take you through nearly 40 miles of great and variable scenery from the Wisconsin River, to the Plover River, Mc Dill Pond, city parks, Schmeeckle reserve, and plenty of private and public forest areas.

 

This not only gives us access to some great scenery but it also joins together all the area of town while making for a great Saturday of biking, hiking , skiing, and more.

Good morning Bob.  40 miles would take me about a week to walk it.  I wonder do they have trail side rooms and restaurants? LOL

Oh Bob - you know how to make me yearn to get out and explore new things. Your Green Circle Trail sounds heavenly. Do people mountain bike it, or is it strictly a foot trail? What about winter sports? Do you have enough snow on the trails for snowshoes or cross-country skiing?

I think this particular area in the green circle is pretty famous overall. It definitely seems worth preserving for sure!

The Green Circle Trail is a great place to get out and enjoy nature.  Drake and I like to go for walks on a section of the trail - there are so many interesting things to see.
