Perfect for groups of people of different riding levels. The fall colors are just starting, so the trails are really pretty this time of year. Please keep it clean out there and ride only when it's dry. That helps keep the trail safe for riders out there. The little pond is really scenic when the sun is setting in the evening. There are lots of fun turns and some obstacles too. Watch the signs and have fun!

The Badger State Trail runs from Madison WI to Illinois, where is meets up with the Jane Addams trail that proceeds south to Freeport, IL. The Badger is a beautiful trail but one word of caution, there's a $5 daily fee or yearly fee required to ride it. I didn't have a fiver on me so I rode without paying, but I did see a trail worked that likely checked bikers for payment slips. So..be careful. I rode the path from south of Monticello, north past Belleville WI and back. This stretch of path includes the Stewart Tunnel, which was easily one of the most interesting things I've seen on any bike path I've ever ridden. Built in the 1880's, this tunnel is about four tenths of a mile long and contains no lighting inside. Once you lose the grace of the light coming from one end of the tunnel, you'll be in complete darkness until you catch light from the other side. Depending on how fast you ride, that might take a couple minutes. I used the flashlight app on my phone to illuminate the ground as I didn't want to hit something and take a spill in the dark. That and I went slowly, just to be on the safe side. If you go through the tunnel I highly advise you go slow and use a flashlight or light shedding device. That I experienced, the trail was flat and smooth in here, and nothing except the brick walls surrounded me. The rest of the trail is kept up okay. I like a trail that goes from town to town with country in between, so the Badger kept me happy. I'm looking forward to doing more stretches of this trail in the future and hope to see reviews from other riders who've done different sections. Cheers.

Overall pretty easy terrain in my opinion and mostly flat with some small ups and downs. The trails dual as mountain bike trails so be on the lookout as you may need to step aside.

Given it is a former railway the path is relatively flat. In some sections it is shared by horses or there is a parallel horse trails. It appears that in winter they allow ATVs on this trail.

One of the best in the southern section is the Juneau town park which has some very nice bathrooms and a small shelter with picnic tables. Overall a nice trail.

Prices for repairs are competitive with the Madison bike shops. Most recently, when the shifter on my bike was giving my problems, they found a replacement and got my back on the road in less than 24 hours. (Unlike the Trek Store on the West side that was unable to address this same problem, but that is a story for another review). The staff members are friendly and knowledgeable. They have made some minor adjustments to my daughter's bike at no charge on several occasions. The owner does seem to be on the phone a lot, so several times when I've dropped in I've had to wait for him to finish his call to get helped.

Hoyt park is one of many sneaky natural treasures tucked away within the city of Madison. Easy to…read moremiss, but absolutely worth searching out. I hadn't been to the park in ages, in fact, when looking at the map earlier in the day I'd forgotten that I'd been there before. This is probably because we'd stopped and spent some time at the main shelter, but didn't really check out the rest of the park. Shame on me! We missed out back then; not only does the trail make for a lovely and mostly shady walk, but the history here is fantastic. The park was once a quarry, and it shows because this local stone was used throughout. You can access the park from three areas. First is a footpath next to Hoyt School on Regent Street (street parking only here). The primary entrance is a bit farther up Regent Street, and here is where you'll find the parking lot and the main facilities for the park. Lastly, you can hike down from the the scenic outlook at Owen Parkway. There is limited parking up there and on the street by Hoyt School, so I'd suggest the main lot. Hoyt offers a bit of something for everyone. As you pull into the parking lot you'll notice the stone shelter and restroom facility. There are enough picnic tables in the shelter for a good sized get together (reservable) and a large fireplace on each end. While we were there I saw two different groups cook up something on a teeny fire in there. There's a children's playground near the parking lot, more picnic tables scattered about, and a large open grassy area for soccer, lawn games or frisbee. A basketball court and softball field round out the sporting options. Also, as of June 2015, this is one of 10 Madison parks that will be participating in a pilot program for slacklining sites in the city. Neat! The trail (about a mile total) is a mix of paved and unpaved surfaces. It weaves through the trees and rock formations in a way that really maximizes the 31 acres the park sits on. There are picnic areas with stone fireplaces and tables tucked here and there, and a second shelter full of picnic tables down the path into the woods. A smaller clearing past this shelter opens to a restored prairie area, which was loaded with flowers and butterflies when my friend and I walked through. I noted a few benches here and there where one could sit and watch the pollinators at work. There were raspberries everywhere! At one point we walked past old mossy quarry walls, and up/down stone stairways. There were wildflowers all along the trail, which always makes me happy. We shared the trail with a number of people running through the park or walking their dogs. But beware! Technically dogs are only allowed along Owen Parkway and must be leashed while there (via City of Madison website). I don't know how strict they are at the park if you're caught. Regardless, I was pleased to see so many people using the park in a couple hours time. Unfortunately there are some signs of vandalism once you get into the woods. There are not-so-pretty patches in the fencing where people have tried to get through to the blocked off lower quarry area, and some of the beautiful stone tables have been spray painted. Hopefully the Friends of Hoyt Park are on top of these things; from what I read they're pretty active.
