The 104-mile trail is a former Omaha and Soo Line Railroad grade that parallels US Hwy 53 from Rice Lake to Superior. Located in the Red Cedar Valley of Wisconsin, Rice Lake is a hotbed of outdoor recreation. The southern trailhead is located near Hwy 48 and Cty SS. Three miles north of town, the Wild Rivers State Trail connects with the Tuscobia State Trail. While it might be tempting to take the Tuscobia east, ATV use is prohibited from Rice Lake to near Birchwood (about 10 miles). The Wild Rivers Trail continues north following Cty SS as it crosses to the west side of Highway 53 through the town of Haugen and into Washburn County. It’s an easy ride into Sarona, where you can make a quick pit stop for gas. North of Sarona the trail meanders along Hwy 53 for a few miles before veering northwest into deep forest sections. Riders will enjoy the wide sweeping turns and spectacular views. If you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of deer and other wildlife. In Spooner you’ll find plenty of food and lodging choices. Off the 4-wheeler, you can tour the Tommy G. Thompson State Fish Hatchery (715/635-4147) or the Railroad Memories Museum (715/635- 3325, www.spoonerwi.com). If you’re a real railroad buff, you might like a train ride aboard the Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad Excursion Train (715/635-3200, www.spoonertainride.com). From Spooner, the trail cuts back to the northeast around the northern edge of Spooner Lake. An easy ride brings you to Trego and the Namekagon River, which is part of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. Be sure to stop on the bridge north of town to take in the vista of the rolling, winding waterway. Heading north, the trail winds past Lampson skirting the eastern shore of
