If you’re exploring the area: • Take along a meal-to-go • Drop in for lunch or dinner • Take a morning or afternoon break with a cup of coffee/tea and hand-crafted dessert • Start your evening with a Farm Table happy hour featuring cocktails, local beers and wines

CATTAIL STATE TRAIL The Cattail State Trail travels for 18 miles on a former rail corridor between the communities of Amery and Almena in northwestern Wisconsin. Forests, farmlands, prairies, hills and various wildlife habitats surround the trail, which also passes through the Village of Turtle Lake. The trail is maintained and managed by Polk and Barron counties.

Trail activities: The trail may bring a number of different users to the trail at the same time. It is important to use good trail etiquette to ensure the enjoyment and safety of all trail users.

ATVs, UTVs & Off-Highway Motorcycles

All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are allowed on the trail year-round. Off-road motorcycles are allowed on the trail year-round in Polk County only.

Operators must follow all Wisconsin ATV operation laws. Barron County has an extensive network of ATV routes and has opened a trail that connects with the Cattail, east from Almena to the village of Poskin. The connecting trail is on private land. Please stay on the trail and respect property boundaries.

About 2.5 miles east of Almena, Barron County has developed an ATV intensive use area. There is a trailhead with rest rooms available. Both ATV and snowmobile routes pass through the area and can use the trailhead.

Hiking, Bicycling, Pets & Walking

The entire trail is open to walking and bicycling, though bicycling is not recommended. The trail may be rough

or soft in many sections. If you plan to bike the trail, the tread is more suitable for off-road bikes.

Pet owners, please be sure to have your pet on a leash, 8 feet or shorter, at all times. You must pick up after your pet.

Horseback Riding

The entire trail is open to horseback riding. The trail is not groomed or surfaced and may be rough or soft in many sections. Riders must share the trail with motorized vehicles.

Snowmobiling Winter activities

Snowmobiles are permitted on the trail.

Operators must follow all Wisconsin snowmobile laws. The trail also connects to numerous miles of county snowmobile trails.

The opening and closing of snowmobile trails is at the discretion of each county. Snowmobile trails which cross DNR lands are opened and closed consistent with the surrounding county (or counties). Whenever possible, the opening and closing of snowmobile trails is done on a county-wide basis, however localized conditions may require localized trail opening and closing. It is the responsibility of the county to provide notification about the status of snowmobile trails. The Travel Wisconsin Snow Conditions Report, and local club and county snowmobile web pages and telephone hotlines will provide the most current information.

About 2.5 miles east of Almena, Barron County has developed an ATV intensive use area. There is a trailhead with rest rooms available. Both ATV and snowmobile routes pass through the area and can use the trailhead.

The trail is open to cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, however, the trail is not groomed and skiers and snowshoers must share the trail with Explore Amery 2022-2023 Page 31

snowmobiles. Skiers do not need a trail pass while using the trail.

No Hunting and trapping allowed on trail

Hunting and trapping are not allowed on the trail corridor.

GANDY DANCER TRAIL The 98-mile recreation trail follows the railroad grade from St. Croix Falls north to Superior. The southern segment from St. Croix Falls to Danbury, 47-miles, is surfaced with crushed limestone offering a hard surface trail for biking and hiking from April through November.

A bike pass is required and can be purchased at the Polk County Tourism Center in St. Croix Falls and at points along the trail.

The northern segment, 51-miles, runs from Danbury through eastern Minnesota to Superior. This segment offers a wilder, more remote trail experience. Hiking, mountain biking and ATV use is permitted. No pass is needed, but ATVs must display valid registration.

From December to March the entire 98mile trail is operated as a snowmobile trail. Mile post signs mark the distance from south to north.

The trail passes through many small towns in the southern segment, allowing for easy access to food, bathrooms, and lodging.

The trail crosses between the North Twin and South Twin lakes in Amery, skirts the south end of Bear Trap Lake, the north end of Kinney lake and runs along Dwight, Horse and Lotus lakes near the western end.

The trail is named to recognize the exceptional natural resources the trail traverses and the longtime public service and leadership demonstrated
