Biking

Single-track mountain bike trails are maintained at the Greenbush recreation area (9 miles) and New Fane recreation area (5.5 miles). A state trail pass is required for all bike riders aged 16 and over on these trails. The 6.5-mile Lake to Lake Trail connects Mauthe Lake and Long Lake recreation areas and is open to both bicyclists and hikers.

To protect the tread of the single-track trails, riders are asked not to use the bike trails while it is raining or within four to six hours after the rain has stopped.

Greenbush trail system

On Kettle Moraine Drive, 2.5 miles north of State Highway 67, the Greenbush recreation area has two trail systems: four loops of challenging mountain bike trails totaling 9 miles, interwoven with five loops of hiking trails totaling 13.5 miles. Hikers and off-road mountain bikers share this multiple-use trail system in season. For safety reasons, these trails are user-specific; hiking is not allowed on the bike trails and biking is not allowed on the hiking trails. A state trail pass is required.

In winter, the hiking trails at Greenbush are machine-groomed for cross-country skiing. Pets, hiking, snowshoeing and biking are not allowed on the ski trails. Near the trailhead, there is a heated picnic shelter, picnic tables, a grill, drinking water and vault toilets. There is also access to the Ice Age Trail. Greenbush trail system [PDF].
