Lake Country Recreational Trail

The Glacial Drumlin State Trail is one of Wisconsin’s most famous trails, covering 52 miles of glacial landscapes. The paved Delafield segment of the trail is 3.4 miles and begins at Hwy 18 and Hwy 83 and ends at Waterville Road in Dousman. This trail has relatively few changes in elevation and is suitable for beginner cyclists.

Veteran’s Memorial Riverwalk 

.7 Miles

Located just north of the Ice Age and Lake Country Recreational Trails, this scenic walkway runs alongside the Bark River and honors our servicemen throughout major U.S. conflicts. Marked by 10 memorial sites, starting with the Revolutionary War, the chronological story begins on the eastern end and weaves through the wooded riverbanks and marshlands until an elevated boardwalk guides you to Cushing Memorial Park, where restrooms and a wooden playground can be found.

Two beautiful segments of the nearly 1,200-mile route, the 3.5-mile Delafield Segment of the trail—marked with yellow blazes—is shared by the Lake Country Recreation Trail with breathtaking views of glacial-carved landscapes. As you enter the 7.8-mile Lapham Peak Segment of the trail, you may continue by foot or by bike until you’re connected with the Glacial Drumline State Trail.
