I have done both hiking and biking the full 20+ miles. For biking it is nice flat trail. For hiking I would say start on the equestrian(gets really muddy on rainy days) on the south end(hwy 380) and then it will merge around 4 miles north then again will split at the hwy 428. After 428 continue on equestrian for about 3 miles(around 2.5 miles there is big white tree with lots of eagle nests, your camera will like that).You will see a old steel bridge. The equestrian trail is closed little bit north of that bridge. You should cross the river(not much water, may be a feet deep) at the bridge then merge with the bike trail. Took me about 6+ hrs for hiking and 2+ hrs for biking. Have seen deer,snakes and armadillo. If you go in the evening you can see plenty of armadillos.I took at least 3-4 15 minute breaks.

Great paddle close to home. Snakes on fallen trees, dangerous to portage.

The trail I rode was very flat. If you're just looking to enjoy the scenery then this trail is perfect for that, but more experienced riders may find it too slow.

Inside the park at Isle of Dubois there are concreted sidewalk(s) for wheelchair accessibility. It's well maintained. My kids who are in wheelchairs love this place! For my non-wheelchair kiddos there are walk/bikes paths that will join up to the concreted are walk paths. It's a great place to spend the day walking and fishing later.

Very easy trail. Great straight ride that you don't have to worry about car traffic. I have ridden this trail dozens of times over the last 4 years. I suggest that once you reach the dam trai head that you take the sidewalk to the dam's spillway, always cool to check out.

This is a well maintained trail, but it is very easy (no counting the length). Not much elevation or difficulty at all. At the trailheads you must pay $5 per person in a drop box. They do give tickets!

Great trail for a family. The trail is completely unchallenging, which is a good or bad thing, depending on what you are looking for. Essentially it is a long gravel road.

Road the trail with my wife...I loved it but the rough dirt/gravel presented a challenge for her. We did the entire trail for 20+ miles round trip starting at 380 up to the dam and back. Well maintained trail, ready to do it again!!
