Wisconsin Riverwoods Trail
Navigation |
The beautiful 10’-wide asphalt Wisconsin Riverwoods Multi-Use (pedestrians & bicycles) Trail extends south from Main Street (adjacent to the west Wisconsin River Bridge) through Chuck’s Boat Landing and then southwest through Edgewood Park. The trail is then located on Edgewood Drive from Edgewood Park west to South Rangeline Road. The original segment (Main St. to Chuck’s Boat Landing) of the trail is approximately 0.4-mile in length and was constructed in the fall of 2009 on an 18-acre urban forest parcel that was graciously donated by the Wausau (Mosinee) Paper Corporation to the City. The City was very fortunate able to obtain Community Sensitive Design Funds from the State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation (as part of the Wisconsin River Bridge Reconstruction Project) and also a generous contribution from the Mosinee Flowage Trust Fund (established by the Wausau {Mosinee} Paper Corporation) to construct the original segment of the trail. The 2nd segment (Chuck’s Boat Landing to Rangeline Road) of the trail is approximately 1.3-miles in length and was constructed in the fall of 2016 Easements for the 2nd segment of the trail were graciously donated by Norbert & Joan Dupuis and also by the Consolidated Water Power Company. The City was fortunate to be awarded a $255,458 Bicycle & Facilities Program (BPFP) Transportation Enhancement Grant from the State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) to assist with funding the construction of the 2nd segment of the Wisconsin Riverwoods Multi-use Trail. In addition to the primary trail there are three (3) additional 10’-wide asphalt paved access points to the main trail from the following locations: * From the east side of 3rd Street (between High & Jackson Streets). * From the south end of Elm Street. * From the south end of Novak Street. The trail includes 12’-wide elevated timber boardwalks across two wetland areas and also two beautiful river overlook areas.
