rocks on uphill climbs or descents, and on
some corners.
About a mile north of Cty M, the trail
curves east as it crosses Willow Creek.
Here the trail becomes a gravel road. After
a half-mile or so, you’ll come to an intersection.
The Chippewa Trail heads to the
right. If you continue straight, the gravel
RJ & LINDA MILLER
road cuts through private land leading to
county roads posted for ATV use. As
always, follow the signs and ride only on
roads marked as ATV routes.
Staying on the Chippewa ATV Trail,
you’ll pass through a narrow gate. In fact,
there are several narrow gates on the trail.
Most of them are located at road intersections.
The trail dives deep into the forest
passing more wetlands on the way to Cty
E. From here it’s a short swing past the
Birch Creek Trail to the eastern trailhead on
Cty M.
Area attractions include the Chippewa
Moraine Ice Age State Recreation Area just
west of the trail (715/967-2800,
www.wiparks.net). This 3,300-acre recreation
area doesn’t offer any camping, but
it does have a terrific nature center that
interprets the glacial legacy of the area and
of the Ice Age Trail. If camping is a part of
your outdoor fun, Brunet Island State Park
(715/239-6888, www.wiparks.net) is only
five miles southeast of the trail in Cornell
with 1,200 acres of fun and 69 campsites.
Even nearer, Pine Point Park is only about
two miles east of the trail’s eastern trailhead.
This Chippewa County park occupies
a 3,900-acre peninsula jutting into the
Holcombe Flowage with 48 campsites and
an absolutely stunning location.
