Confirmed from Green Circle Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

Rode to the west on Tuesday, Thursday to the east. Trail was in excellent condition and not busy at all. The 24 miles went by quickly with the changing trail/road/gravel path. One of our favorite trails.

★★★★★ — Andy , Jul 2023

I enjoy every single trail the Green Circle has to offer! Central Wisconsin, Stevens Point is lucky to have such a great outdoor nature trail system. If it's nice out (...and even when it's not) I find time to walk and take in all that the Green Circle has to offer. Year round enjoyment

★★★★★ — Tyler , Mar 2022

Great Ride ! Variety of naturesque views and wildlife. Urban parts are easy to manage. About 80 % forest canopy. Gentle rolling terrain, you can complete entire 27 mi. loop in about 3 1/2 hrs. or less. Trail is extremely well marked.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
