Wisconsin - Necedah Hwy 21 Bridge
Hello -
We are riding from Minneapolis to Milwaukee this summer and I am working on a way to cross the Wisconsin River. The Highway 21 bridge just east of Necedah looks like it will serve us well, at least from a routing perspective. Has anyone crossed the the Highway 21 Bridge via bicycle? The Bike Federation of Wisconsin map indicates that its Red, meaning not recommended. I wouldn't be on it long, just a few miles.

(?) I crossed the Wisconsin River (Lake Wisconsin) south of Baraboo - at the Merrimac Ferry. -- ***************************** Chuck Anderson • Boulder, CO http://www.CycleTourist.com ***************************** |

Wisconsin - Necedah Hwy 21 Bridge
Chuck - The Sparta-Elroy trail is an option. After chatting with
someone at Juneau County, we decided to alter the route to stay west of the Wisconsin River and cross at the Merrimac Ferry. That day we will ride from Baraboo to Watertown (I think). Another reply suggested that we ride the west side of Devil's Lake. Its great, and that will be part of the route too. Thanks for the repliy.

Thanks for the repliy. Jim K Also .... if you go further south (as opposed to going to Watertown), there is a long trail out of the Madison area - The Glacial Drumlin Trail - that covers a lot of ground on it's way to Wakesha. The downside is having to ride down near Madison (Cottage Grove is the town where the trail starts). When I did that, I stayed in a motel in Madison, so I went through the east side of town. I don't know what the route would be like trying to stay east of Madison to get to that trail. All in all, Wisconsin is a beautiful state to ride through - and they have excellent bicycling maps that allow you to pick your own route. http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/travel/bike-foot/bikemaps.htm Here's my write-up of riding on the Wisconsin State Trails on my from Stillwater to western Chicago. http://www.cycletourist.com/Boulder_to_Minneapolis/index.php?document=Therest_II.html%2314 Chuck -- ***************************** Chuck Anderson • Boulder, CO http://www.CycleTourist.com Everyone's journey should be different, so that we all are enriched in new and endless ways ***************************** |

It's a big tourist area with many facilities of many kinds - for better or worse. |

It's a bit south from 21, but it's not as far down as the Dells, and should be less nutty in tourist season. -- __o Kristian Zoerhoff _'\(,_ (_)/ (_) |
