Governor Dodge State Park Bike Trails

Steep climbs are your introduction to off-roading in Wisconsin's "Driftless Area".  You can't avoid them.  The only way out of Cox Hollow is up.  "Driftless" means there are no glacier boulders or debris because none of the four continental glaciers of the past million years visited the area.  So the area is characterized by narrow gorges and soaring rock sculptures formed by eons of cutting deeper and deeper into layers or limestone and sandstone.

Riding at Governor Dodge is challenging, but the beauty of the woods and overviews of the lakes and valleys make it worth the effort.  Stop for look into the depths of Lost Canyon or rest a minute on a warm, lichen covered rock outcrop to appreciate nature's handiwork.  Click here to buy an individual bike map for these trails.
