The sign in the photo above is at the western end of the White River Trail near Elkhorn, WIsconsin. There is a good size parking lot here and you can purchase trail passes here too. There is also picnic table here which is where we stopped and had a snack before heading back east to Burlington.
We actually started our ride on the western leg of the White River Trail in Burlington, Wisconsin just off of Spring Valley Road. The trail is crushed stone and mostly flat and straight.
Just east of Springfield, Wi and the Pedal & Cup restaurant we came across the downed tree in the trail as seen in the photo above.
It was a little difficult getting by but Dara rode around it as you can see in this photo. I hung back, took some photos then ended up walking around it myself.
OK, fast forward quite a few miles and here we are at the trail head at the western end of the trail near Elkhorn, Wisconsin. There is a large parking lot here along with a picnic table where we took a break and had a snack before heading back east to Burlington again.
There is a nice canopy of trees over much of the trail and places to take a break, if necessary, like at the bench shown above.
Apparently, there is a "White River Cycling Club" as you can see by the engraving on the bench here.
One of the nice features of a lot of phone cameras these days is the panoramic option. I like to get a few wide angle photos of the trails that I ride these days to show the trail along with the surrounding area. In this case a lot of the trail goes through open farm lands as you can see above.
See the next photo page for another panoramic view of the trail.
Here's the photo tour of the White River Bike Trail including the west and east legs of the trail out of Burlington, Wisconsin. This ride was from June, 2015.
