Tuscobia Trail (16)

I feel a little ashamed to admit that we haven't been on the Tuscobia Trail yet.  We've lived here for 8 years and it is just down the road.  We drive by it many days even!  But, we finally made it there!

"This 74-mile trail on a former rail corridor is one of the longest rail trails in the state, running from Park Falls to the Wild Rivers State Trail just north of Rice Lake. The trail passes through part of the Flambeau River State Forest and the rugged wilderness of Wisconsin's Blue Hills. The trail connects seven small communities in Barron, Washburn, Sawyer and Price counties, each providing year-round accommodations and services.

The Tuscobia State Trail is a year-round multiple use recreational trail that offers opportunities for ATVs, snowmobiling, horseback riding, off-road bicycling and walking. Trail activities vary by time of year and by county. The western end of the trail is part of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail."

There was a cache on this trail, so that is why we chose to check it out.  We made the trek in, a very pretty walk on a relatively cool Wisconsin evening.  The only problem is that it was ridiculously buggy, so we turned around and went home and got bug spray and then went back (we are that pathetic!).  On our second try, we found our cache.  We hiked a bit further and then headed in for the evening.  Definitely a trail that would be worth checking out in all 4 seasons!
