State Trail Segments

This layer was originally developed alongside the development of the Wisconsin Trails Network Plan Update GIS mapping application. This layer displays state trails in Wisconsin. State trails have been segmented into numerous smaller segments when a change in any of the listed attributes change along a state trail: Segment Name, Corridor Number (of network plan corridors), Surface Type, Trail Manager, County, Trail Pass Required, Open Status, Rail Trail, Allowed Use, or overlap with other trails. This layer was updated for with the 2023 Wisconsin Trails Network Plan Update and will receive updates as the above listed attributes change throughout the state trails. The Ice Age National Scenic Trail and North Country National Scenic Trail are not included in this layer, though it is recommended and encouraged that these are used alongside this state trails layer when working with Wisconsin state trails, due to their state trail classification. Both the Ice Age and North Country National Scenic Trails are considered to be both state trails and national scenic trails and are available for download via the links provided. Some trail segments are included in this layer that have been acquired but have not been developed yet. These segments have surface type and other attributes omitted as they are subject to change during their development process. Water Trail Disclaimer: Water travel is potentially hazardous. There can be no guarantee whatsoever of your safety when participating in kayaking, stand up paddle boarding or other water travel. Shore, weather, and water conditions are in a constant state of change, and you must check weather, tide, currents, and flow data on your own. Be aware of warnings for segments on which you plan to travel. You may check current flow data via USGS (https://waterdata.usgs.gov/wi/nwis/rt). You should also confirm, via personal contact with or calls to government agencies, that water trail sites are still available and that conditions have not changed. You must be careful not to exceed your capabilities and must be prepared to use alternate landing spots in the event that a water trail site cannot be reached for some reason. It is your responsibility to review and plan your route before embarking and to be knowledgeable of water trail you plan to utilize. Use of the Lake Michigan State Water Trail is recommended for experience paddlers only. Launch and other fees may apply and may vary by site along the water trail and it is your responsibility to review fee requirements ahead of arrival or use. The Lake Michigan State Water Trail segment may be a simplified depictions of the water trail. As such, total mileage may vary and it is not intended for use in navigation, determining legal land ownership, or public access. It is your responsibility to verify this information before use of the water trail. It is your responsibility to learn and understand the proper techniques associated with safe water travel and to fully accept and assume all risk of damages, injury or death that may result from attempting to travel to or between the sites described on the following mapping system.
