Walking Routes

Event Information

Walking routes can be found everywhere. Explore your local neighborhood walking with a friend, or venture out to more secluded views along a hiking path or nature trail. In Portage County explore some of the best walking trails by following the Green Circle Trail, a trail that circles the city of Stevens Point winding along the Wisconsin River, Little Plover River and other tributaries. The trailhead for the Green Circle Trail is located in the Schmeeckle Reserve, a 280-acre nature preserve on the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point campus. Find a more rural trail by hiking the Ice Age Trail and wind through the hills and valleys once shaped by glaciers. More glacial trails framed by woods and wildlife are available at Standing Rocks County Park. Or take a journey down a once abandoned railroad bed, by foot, bike or horseback, where the Tomorrow River State Trail brings the county's history and natural beauty to the forefront.
