And I must admit \u2013 I love all of these things, and these alone are things that spurred me to take a vacation in Wisconsin. However, I want to add one thing to that list that you may not have thought of before \u2013 Wisconsin bike trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, ok, maybe you aren\u2019t a biker \u2013 but if you are reading my blog, then you are probably someone who loves the outdoors and is active, or at least hoping to be. Thanks to electric bikes and great bike paths, you don\u2019t need to be an expert cyclist to hop on the Wisconsin bicycle trails. But you do need to love the outdoors and adventure. So, before you poo-poo this biking Madison, WI vacation idea, give me a few more paragraphs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Wisconsin-Bike-Trails-30-1200x675.jpg\" alt=\"Wisconsin Bike Routes\" class=\"wp-image-50684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Wisconsin-Bike-Trails-30-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Wisconsin-Bike-Trails-30-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Wisconsin-Bike-Trails-30-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Wisconsin-Bike-Trails-30.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A perfect biking landscape &#8211; Wisconsin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Close your eyes\u2026when you visualize Wisconsin, what comes to mind? Rolling hills of green, gentle rivers flowing through the countryside, cows and farms dotting the landscapes, small towns, and friendly people? These are all of the ingredients to perfect cycling routes! Wisconsin has taken this landscape (urban and rural) and turned it into a biking paradise. I specifically went to explore the best bike trails in Wisconsin. But don\u2019t worry \u2013 I\u2019ve also included non-biking things to do around state trails in the region.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69b9302a8221f\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69b9302a8221f\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/wisconsin-bike-trails-to-explore-near-madison\/#Bike_Madison_WI\" >Bike Madison, WI<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/wisconsin-bike-trails-to-explore-near-madison\/#Madison_Lake_Loop_Bike_Trail\" >Madison Lake Loop Bike Trail<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/wisconsin-bike-trails-to-explore-near-madison\/#Madisons_BCycle_Program\" >Madison&#8217;s BCycle Program<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/wisconsin-bike-trails-to-explore-near-madison\/#Other_things_to_do_in_Madison_in_between_biking\" >Other things to do in Madison in between biking<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/wisconsin-bike-trails-to-explore-near-madison\/#Where_to_stay_in_Madison\" >Where to stay in Madison<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/wisconsin-bike-trails-to-explore-near-madison\/#Wisconsin_bike_trails_outside_of_Madison\" >Wisconsin bike trails outside of Madison<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/wisconsin-bike-trails-to-explore-near-madison\/#Janesville_Wisconsin_%E2%80%93_biking_a_glaciers_path\" >Janesville, Wisconsin &#8211;

Madison is consistently ranked as a top biking city in the US, along with places like Portland, Austin, and Fort Collins. The 200 miles of bike lanes and paths in Madison, WI, are impressive. Plus, they have bike share programs, making it easy to hop on a bike and explore \u2013 or just use it to get around the bike-loving city. There are also rentals available at the <a data-lasso-id=\"1052203\" href=\"https:\/\/www.machineryrowbicycles.com\/articles\/bike-rentals-pg191.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Machinery Row Bicycle Shop<\/a> if you are looking for something more personalized to your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, Madison is literally centered around two beautiful lakes, and one of the most popular mountain bike trails here in Madison is the Lake Loop.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery.kb-gallery-wrap-id-50650_28ae67-d6{padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs,

I rode the 13-mile Lake Monona Loop, which covers downtown, lake neighborhoods, and the lakefront. It\u2019s all sign-marked really well \u2013 nearly impossible to get lost! It was the perfect way for me to explore more of the Madison area outside of the main city center.

This region is where the Swiss settled in Wisconsin, and they made themselves right at home\u2026literally.

Fourteen trestle bridges cross over the Sugar River and its tributaries, while the trail passes by farmlands, woods, rolling hills, forests, and remnant prairies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I biked 30 miles along the Sugar River State Trail from New Glarus to Albany, going through the small town of Monticello. I ran out of time to do the entire route to Brodhead, but you could easily make a fun day out of this trail by stopping for lunch in Albany or Brodhead before turning around and heading back to New Glarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rail trail is gravel\/crushed stone, so you will need more rugged tires. The majority of the trail was flat or very gradual grades since it was an old rail line. In addition to the cute trestle bridges, it seemed like most of the time, you were protected in the shade of a canopy of big trees. I ran into a number of other cyclists and bikers along the trail, too, which made it fun. Consider obtaining trail maps, and remember you will need to purchase a state trail pass for $5.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery.kb-gallery-wrap-id-50650_9bd514-2a{padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);}.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery

Over the decades, small family farms have been bought out by large producers, going the way of most of the farming\/agriculture industry. There are still a few family farms left, but they\u2019ve been forced to think out of the box as a way to survive, and that\u2019s exactly what Dan Wegmueller did when he bought the family farm from

rolling hills of Green County, Wisconsin. Take as much of a hands-on approach as you like. Feed a baby calf, milk a cow, befriend a horse (they offer horse riding), or just enjoy the relaxing and peaceful serenity of rural Wisconsin farm life. This is a real working farm with 50 heads of cattle, pigs, and horses. Stay in the newly remodeled farmhouse with four bedrooms (sleeps up to 9) and two baths. The <a data-lasso-id=\"1052214\" href=\"https:\/\/www.airbnb.com\/rooms\/27985010?source_impression_id=p3_1682977124_FCp3Gy4njKxieZln\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wegmeuller Farm stay can be booked through Airbnb<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I visited the farm and took a complete farm tour (available to all guests) with Dan, which was mesmerizing due to the extensive education on farming that I received. If you ever wanted to learn more about America\u2019s farm industry, Dan is your guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the optional morning farm chores and a hearty farm breakfast in the morning, take back off on your bike on the backroads towards Broadhead (14 miles) and meet up with the Sugar River State Trail riding on to Monticello. Have lunch in Monticello, and from there, you can catch the Badger State Trail back into Madison. This two-day adventure is perfect for someone who really wants to immerse themselves in Wisconsin!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id50650_51172b-85{margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs,

They handle everything: a world-class bike, accommodation, route, turn-by-turn directions, and stop suggestions.

I used their GPS directions on my phone app and was able to get turn-by-turn directions for their route. It took me through the city on bike trails and out to the outskirts to meet up with the state-maintained Wisconsin Bike Trail system. And once I was all the way out of the city and surrounded by corn, my app directed me onto backcountry roads full of rolling hills with little traffic and lots of big views.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_off_the_bike_in_Paoli_Wisconsin\"><\/span>Get off the bike in Paoli, Wisconsin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How can an unincorporated town have so much cool stuff? I&#8217;d like to say it&#8217;s a hidden gem, but when talking to the locals, I see that it&#8217;s not so hidden any longer. Right along the Sugar River, this two-block town is a great stopping point for road trippers and bikers. This unincorporated town even has a bike shop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of options for lunch in the little town of Paoli. If you are looking for something a bit more refined and healthy (don\u2019t worry \u2013 you can come in your bike clothes!), check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schoolhousebistro.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"1052216\">Paoli Schoolhouse Bistro<\/a>. The one-room schoolhouse was built in 1854. The Schoolhouse was last used as a school in 1972 by the Belleville School District.

Granted \u2013 if you are riding, you can\u2019t drink much, but Hop Garden is a really cool brewery. They grow their own hops for their delicious small-batch beer! I visited their tap room at the Mill in Paoli, and I also went to visit their farm to see their entire hop-growing operation &#8211; from farm to tap! They are one of the few breweries in Wisconsin growing their own hops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This longer ride out to Bellville and through Paoli was a highlight of my time exploring Madison by bike! This was just one day of the 4-day Trek Travel Self-Guided Madison trip. Consider the Trek Travel Self-Guided trip like the spokes of a wheel with the Mansion Hill Inn in Madison at the center, and then you take four different bike days out of Madison and back based on the itinerary. Eat in and enjoy Madison every evening, and go out and explore by bike during the day outside of Madison. For the bike enthusiast, this Trek Travel itinerary would be a perfect way to experience Wisconsin biking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#d9de3e8f\"><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/trektravel.com\/trip-type\/self-guided\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-id=\"1094481\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Trek Travel offers self-guided trips<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;like this all over the world, where they take care of all of the planning, and all you have to do is ride.<\/strong><\/span><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what type of biker you are (beginner, e-biker, independent bike traveler, touring bike traveler, urban biker, or long-distance cyclist), using Madison as your home base for your Wisconsin biking adventures is a great strategy.
