old abe state trail印象

We love to bike and enjoyed this trail as unlike so many Wisconsin trails it is actually paved. It has fairly decent views, and was not too crowded. It does however require a paid trail wheel pass, yet too, many Wisconsin trails do.

We took our 9 yr old son biking on the Old Abe Trail on a Thursday morning. We got on at Jim Falls. It took us awhile to figure out how and where to get our Trail Passes because at first we pulled up at the Town Hall there in Jim Falls which was locked. Then we saw the sign for trail parking across the street and then we got over there and it said to purchase your passes at the Cenex (which was next door.) So, finally we got our passes ($4 each for people over 16 yrs) and out on the trail. It was beautiful riding along the water. We liked that it was very flat riding. We rode the 10 miles to Cornell (my son on a 1-speed bike led the whole way,) saw a couple cranes along the way, and checked out the Cobban Bridge along the way, a historical marker and the oldest bridge of its kind in Wisconsin! Once we got to Cornell we had a quick lunch at the Subway right off the trail and got back on the trail back to Jim Falls. Great ride!!! What a deal too for half a day's entertainment!

I have ridden the Old Abe from Chippewa Falls to Cornell before, and the area between Chippewa Falls and Jim Falls needed replacement after the power company finished tower installations next to the trail. The surface is now new, so the surface is fantastic for runners, cyclists and roller blades. Portions of the trail are nicely shaded; north of Jim Falls and to Cornell. The rest of the trail is pretty flat and runs through beautiful countryside!! I highly recommend the ride for new and experienced riders. All users of the trail follow good trail etiquette! Note that Wisconsin state trail passes for those 16 years or older are needed. Annual passes are $20; day passes are $4.

Nice trail going through the country side. Watch out for the pavement heaves, they'll throw you off your seat. People are friendly, say hi and wave.

The trail is newly resurfaced in 2012/2013 and in the best of condition. If you get to the north end you can have ice cream at Dylan's Dairy homemade by the proprietor from the 6 cows SHE milks every day!

We biked from Jim Falls to Brunet Island State Park during peak fall colors, and the scenery was gorgeous. The trail was recently repaved, so is nice and smooth. We love that it is paved, and only crosses a few roads. It is very peaceful.

Nice paved trail. Shaded most of the route. Paid a 4 dollar fee per person to use. Well maintained. Would be beautiful in fall with the color change. Flat grade.

Pleasant walk/bike trail along the lake. Easy going.

A large piece of this bike trail has been repaved and is great to rollerblade or bike on as you travel along the Chippewa River and through the woods (to Grandmother's House we go!! HAHA).

The Chippewa River is visible occasionally. In early May the wildflowers were really good. But the pavement is rough in places. Still, it's worth a ride/walk.
