Mountain-Bay State Trail

This 83-mile state rail-trail gets its name from Rib Mountain in Wausau and the bay of Green Bay. The Shawano County portion of the trail is 53 miles long and spans the county from Eland to Pulaski. The trail passes through beautiful countryside framed by farmlands, marshes, and small villages as well as the Stockbridge Munsee Indian Reservation. Bridges cross many creeks and streams. You can bike, hike or ride your horse along the trail. Don’t forget your field glasses for good looks at wildlife.

Directions:There are trailheads in Shawano, Eland and Pulaski.
