SUGAR RIVER TRAIL:

The Sugar River Trail is a multi-use recreational trail with primary emphasis on bicycling and secondary emphasis on hiking, nature lore and winter sports. The trail headquarters is located at the northern terminus of the trail in New Glarus, on Highways 39/69. (See Bib. Ref. B).

The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad line was constructed in the 1880's to service agriculture and small industry of the area. When business became unfeasible, the railroad abandoned the line and on July 27, 1972, it became the Sugar River Trail, a 23-mile long, 278.92-acre hiking and biking facility in this south central part of Wisconsin. (See Bib. Ref. B).
