Military Ridge State Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The 40-mile Military Ridge State Trail runs through Iowa and Dane counties to connect with Dodgeville and Madison. The trail goes by the way of an 1855 military route between Verona and Dodgeville. The trail consists of a crushed limestone surface so is best done on a gravel bike or with good tires of at least 32mm.

The Hop Garden

Highlight • Pub

A perfect biking destination! The Hop Garden features great beer, a beautiful outdoor seating area in front of a historic mill, and some food options. There is regular live music, farm stands, and other events. It can get very busy on weekends, but even then there is usually some space left.
