Pine River Recreation Trails

The Pine River Recreation Trail presents an unusual assortment of ecosystems, including lowland hardwood forests, cattail marshes, the Sextonville tamarack bog, an oak savannah, prairies, and jack pine barrens. Each of these ecosystems is briefly described on county sponsored markers installed by an Eagle Scout. The trail traces the course of the meandering Pine River from Richland Center south to the swift-flowing Wisconsin River, near Gotham.

The Pine River originates from springs in southern Vernon County. It is currently classified as a Class II trout stream for seventeen miles. The remaining portion of the river is considered a warm water sports fishery. The Pine River has been hydro-logically modified as a part of a flood control project. More information can be found on the Pine River page.
