This is a very popular mountain bike trail system. To make the bike trail more interesting and correct problems on the ski trail, the bike trail is being reconstructed in 2003 and 2004 to move it off the Rock Lake Ski Trail. The maps show the revised mountain bike trail system. Two bike trails originate at the Rock Lake Parking Lot Trailhead.

Trails beginning at the Rock Lake Parking Lot (park fee required)

Rock Lake Bike Trail - 12.1 miles, 75% single track; 7K Cutoff - 4.8 miles, 90% single track; Emerson Cutoff - 10.1 miles, 67% single track; Glacier Trail - 8.3 miles, 53% single track.

What to expect: The trails beginning at Rock Lake are predominately single track mountain bike trails. While the trails traverse steep, difficult terrain, they are designed to be rideable by bikers with itermediate ability. In many places one has the feeling of riding on the edge of a steep drop off. The bike trail gives a marvelous tour of the small lakes and scenic spots in the Rock Lake area. CAMBA has excellent detailed trail maps of the cluster. The maps include narratives of the trail route for people who cannot read maps. The excellent signing on the trails makes getting lost difficult.

Directions to the Rock Lake Parking Lot:
Drive east from Cable 8.5 miles on County Highway M. The parking lot is on the right (south) side of the road.

Trails beginning at the Namakagon Town Hall Trailhead

Namakagon Trail - 12.4 miles, 60% single track; Patsy Lake Trail - 14.6 miles, 52% single track; Patsy Lake Cutoff - 11.8 miles, 63% single track.

What To Expect: The trails beginning at the Namakagon Town Hall begin with a narrow single track trail climbing out of the parking lost. The middle sections of these trails are easy riding old woods roads. The trail returns to the Town Hall on a narrow single track.

Directions to the Namakagon Town Hall Trailhead:
From Cable, drive 11 miles east of County Highway M. The town hall is on the right (south) side of the highway.
