Aldo Leopold Legacy Trail System
Wolf River State Trail

The Wolf River State Trail is currently under development. Once complete, the Wolf River State Trail in Langlade County will run for 23.4 miles and begin at the Menominee/Langlade county line, travel north through White Lake, Hollister and Lily to the Langlade/Forest county line. The Forest County segment will run for 13.6 miles from the Forest/Langlade county line to Crandon. The trail will be developed in phases, in part dependant on funding.

Trail Uses

When completed, this rail trail will provide a wide-variety of uses throughout all four seasons. The Wolf River State Trail runs adjacent to the Nicolet National Forest [exit DNR] where camping, hunting, fishing, hiking, mountain biking and cross-country skiing opportunities are available. A segment of the corridor between Highway 64 and Lily is near the Wolf River. The river is well known for trout fishing and the whitewater rapids frequently draw rafters, kayakers and canoeists.

Langlade County

The Wolf River State Trail in Langlade County is under development, however the trail is presently open to snowmobile use. Once the trail is developed and officially opened, summer ATV use will be permitted from White Lake to 1/4 mile north of Highway 64. ATV use then branches off of the rail grade to the northwest to connect with the existing county ATV trail system. No motorized uses (except snowmobiles) will be allowed on the section from Highway 64 to Lily.

Prior to complete development of the trail but after additional grading work has occurred, the segment from Highway 64 to Lily will be opened to walking and bicycling (mountain bikes with knobby tires recommended - the surface will be rough). This page will be updated when walking and bicycling are allowed on this section - please check back.

Forest County

The Wolf River State Trail is currently under development in Forest County. When completed, the trail in Forest County will be open to walking, bicycling, ATVs (year-round), and snowmobiles.
