A blacktop trail runs from downtown Boulder Junction to
gin-clear Trout Lake and then south and east to Crystal Lake Campground in
Sayner. Because of the level terrain, this 11-mile, fully paved trail is great
for touring bikes as well as groups riding with younger children. There are also
lots of places to stop along the way to view the many lakes and some of the
largest white pines in the Northwoods. The trail connects to the Plum Lake Trail
and continues to the St. Germain Bike & Hike Trail. Together, all three
trails form the 23-mile paved Heart of Vilas County Hike & Bike Trail. There
is a picnic area about halfway to Trout Lake.
