Mountain Bike Trails and Rentals!
Trails
 The Wolf River area in Wisconsin offers some of the best mountain and road biking in the upper Midwest . The Bear Paw trail system consists of logging roads and single track paths that lead through with a variety of northern hardwoods and old growth pines, down to the river. It is home to the Wolfman Triathlon and the Wisconsin Off Road Racing Series #11, Bear Paw Rock and Roll. Just across Highway 55, you will find the Nicolet Roche Mountain Bike Trail System. Considered by some to be the best trail in Wisconsin , this treasure of single-track is hidden away in the Nicolet-Chequamegon National Forest . It is currently 19 miles long with excellent flow that could only be found in a purpose-built mountain bike trail. It has drops, boulders, and challenging climbs built from the incredible natural features found in Northern Wisconsin . The trail's surroundings include lakes, springs, creeks, giant boulders, and dramatic tornado affected areas.
Rentals:
Bear Paw Outdoor Adventures rents mountain bikes with helmets. Cost is $15 half day, $25 full day. Reservations are helpful.
Whitewater Rafting & Tubing
For excitement and thrills, nothing beats whitewater rafting on the Wolf. The famous Wolf River is considered one of the best whitewater rivers in the Midwest ! The Wolf offers  everything from quiet calm water in the northern section to complex rapids in the southern sections. Rafting conditions depend on the river levels and time of year, with spring run-off and heavy rainfalls being the most challenging obstacle; Wolf River rafting is an adventure.
