Considered the first rail-to-trail in the United States, the Elroy-Sparta State Trail is located in Wisconsin, east of LaCrosse. With three rock tunnels and five small towns along its 32.5-mile route, this limestone rail-trail is obviously a favorite Wisconsin bicycling destination with over 60,000 people visiting each year. Traveling between Sparta and Elroy, the trail stretches through the communities of Norwalk, Wilton and Kendall, passing by wetlands, prairies, and of course farmland. I recently biked part of the Elroy-Sparta trail with a large group of friends, along with a stop at the Potosi Brewery. Here is my recap.
