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.
