Mountain Biking

Bring your mountain bike to Rice Lake. Ride the winding trails of the Blue Hills Trail System or take a relaxing ride along the Cedar Side Trail. Here are two of the Rice Lake area’s top mountain biking experiences.

Blue Hills Trail System – 20 miles

Rolling trails wind their way past small streams and through forests sprinkled with red and white pines, balsam and hemlock. During the winter, this is one of the top cross-country ski trail systems in Wisconsin. From Rice Lake, head east on Highway C (Sawyer Street) 10 miles to the Barron-Rusk County Line where Barron County Highway C becomes Rusk County Highway O. Continue on Highway O another 10 miles to Fire Lane Road. Head north on Fire Lane Road 2 ½ miles. Get map and more information.

Cedar Side Trail – 4 miles

The Cedar Side Trail runs alongside the Red Cedar River, offering beautiful views and a serene walking, jogging or biking experience.
