The walking and biking routes were developed to aid in improving local fitness for residents and visitors, promote tourism and raise awareness of the local treasures we have in and around Cumberland, Wisconsin. Our group has worked hard to collect walking and biking trails in the area and plan to continue to improve and promote our local resources.

There is a picnic bench at the south terminus and 3 newly refurbished benches spaced about 1/4 mile apart along the way. A big thank you to QuickBlast Finish Removal for the expert care of the trail benches and mowing!
