Bicycle Trails

No matter if you like your two wheels on the blacktop, back country roads or scenic bike trails, miles of trails provide a great two-wheel time for peddlers of all levels and are an excellent way to see many of the natural wonders of our area. Wild flowers, native birds, and picturesque landscapes combined with the fresh air, produce a healthy and leisurely activity that’s full of fun.

Seven Waters Trail

The Seven Waters Trail passes near: Wind Lake, Waubeesee Lake, Muskego Creek, Fox River, Long Lake Creek, White River and Echo Lake.

The gravel trail begins at Highway 142 at Bushnell Park in the Town of Burlington, enters the City of Burlington near Riverside Park following the beautiful Fox River. The trail runs north along the east side of Highway 36 crossing Highway 36 to join a newly constructed segment in the Rochester area. This new segment of the trail winds through Saller Woods, connecting to Eagle Case Park, before joining the to Case Eagle Park.

The construction of the new segment, which is composed of blacktop, creates a seamless link from one end of the county to the other. The final segment of the trail is on the east side of Highway 36 and proceeds northward to the Waukesha County line (City of Muskego).

White River Trail

Just a short ride from downtown Burlington, this crushed limestone trail begins at Spring Valley Road, just west of Burlington off Highway 36 and goes through Lyons and Springfield.

The route takes you past the “Pedal & Cup” (offering bike rentals, snacks and drinks May through September) in Springfield. The final segment of the ride runs into Burlington’s neighboring city of Elkhorn. Numerous bridges, scenic vistas, quaint towns, farmlands and wetlands offer great views along the way.
