Trail Overview

Northern portion of the Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail. Route pick up from the Clam Lake area, and travels along ATV trails, fire roads, forest service roads, and logging roads. Most of the route has poor cell service, so make sure you have offline maps and a backup plan for comms in case of emergency. Many of the forest service roads and fire roads are easy to navigate and will have great scenery. Once on the logging roads, terrain gets more challenging with washouts, craters and sand. The trail ends at Point Detour which has ZERO CELL SERVICE. The Delta Diner is a must stop, and is right on the route. Enjoy the views of Lake Superior as you crest the final logging road hill into Cornucopia.

Started in the northern section. Was going good until about 15 miles in. Very heavy sand ate me alive. Make sure you have good tires.

The Delta Diner, popular eating spot on the trail/route, is closed while the owners look for someone to purchase the restaurant. Unknown when it will reopen

Trail conditions were great. Mostly gravel and paved roads and logging rods.

Beautiful forest, some technical trails. Many reroutes due to no 4x4s in some sections. Easy to work around most. Definitely take some of the side trails, you won’t be disappointed!
