The Devil's River State Trail is a 14.24-mile (22.94 km) state-designated rail trail in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. Parts of the trail are under construction as of early 2010.[1] The trail is nearly paralleled by Interstate 43 for much of its route.[2] The trail starts in the village park of Denmark, continuing through the village parks of both Maribel and Francis Creek, ending just north of Rockwood.[1] The trail is scheduled to be expanded southwards to the city of Manitowoc.
Route
[edit]
The trail begins at the trailhead depot in downtown Denmark (44°20′58″N 87°49′45″W / 44.34944°N 87.82917°W), and travels south, going through downtown Maribel, Francis Creek, and ending in Rockwood(44°10′05″N 87°41′54″W / 44.16806°N 87.69833°W). Along the route, the trail crosses the Devil's River on a railroad trestle bridge that towers 100 feet above the river. Most of the route is flat, as it is built on an old railroad bed.
Access
[edit]The trail is open to walkers, joggers, bicyclists, and pets on a leash. In winter, the trail is open to cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling.
