Tomorrow River State Trail
There is a short one-mile gap in the trail in Amherst Junction and trail users will need to use local roads as the trail route. The eastern terminus of the trail in Waupaca County ends at Wolf Road. Users will need to use local roads for about 0.5 miles between the trail and the village of Manawa.
The trail may bring a number of different users to the trail at the same time. It is important to use good trail etiquette to ensure the enjoyment and safety of all trail users.
Horseback riding
There is a separate 14-mile horse trail alongside the limestone trail from Plover to the Portage/Waupaca county line, with the horse trail under construction in Waupaca County. Horses should never be on the limestone trail except in posted areas where the two are shared. In areas where a separate horse trail is not complete, riders are allowed to use the south side of the limestone trail, providing they stay on the edge of the trail. Riders should follow the horse signs. Each rider age 16 or older needs a Wisconsin state trail pass while using the trail.
Ice Age National Scenic Trail
The Ice Age Trail crosses the Tomorrow River State Trail in Waupaca County at Gillman Road.
Walking and bicycling
The level grade and limestone surface make this trail suitable for bicyclists, walkers and joggers. Some sections may have hoof marks where the limestone trail is shared with horses. Each bicyclist age 16 or older needs a Wisconsin state trail pass while using the trail. Passes are available along the trail at self-registration stations or at the Portage County and Waupaca County Parks offices.
Pet owners, please be sure to have your pet on a leash, 8 feet or shorter, at all times. You must pick up after your pet.
Winter activities
Snowmobiles are permitted on the trail. Operators must follow all Wisconsin snowmobile laws. The trail also connects to numerous miles of county snowmobile trails.
The opening and closing of snowmobile trails are at the discretion of each county. Snowmobile trails that cross DNR lands are opened and closed consistent with the surrounding county (or counties). Whenever possible, the opening and closing of snowmobile trails are done on a county-wide basis, however, localized conditions may require localized trail opening and closing. It is the responsibility of the county to provide notification about the status of snowmobile trails.
The Travel Wisconsin Snow Conditions Report [exit DNR], and local club and county snowmobile webpages [exit DNR] and telephone hotlines will provide the most current information.
The trail is open to walking, bicycling, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, however, the trail is not groomed and users must share the trail with snowmobiles. Skiers do not need a trail pass while using the trail.
No Hunting and trapping allowed on trail
Hunting and trapping are not allowed on the trail corridor. For more information, please see:
