It's biking time!


Hey Campers! For all you bikers out there this next place would be a blast! Even if you are not a biker you should definitely try out this next place. This next campground is called Tunnel Trail Campground. Tunnel Trail Campground is located in Wilton, Wisconsin. Tunnel Trail is yet another beautiful, fun campground.  There is definitely a lot of scenery, but to see it you have to get out on the trails!

The beginning of the tunnel
Tunnel Trail campground has one of the more fun bike trails I have ever been on! The trail is called the Elroy Sparta Trail. This trail is an Old Chicago- Northwestern railroad bed that has been converted into a hiking/biking trail. I suggest you bike this route if you would like to get farther along the trail. The trail is 32 miles long. We turned around after about 8 miles. The best part of trail hints at the name of the campground! There are three tunnels throughout the trail. We hit two of them in the 8 miles. When you get to the trails you have to get off of your bike, and turn on your flashlights! Yes, it gets pretty dark in the tunnels. It also gets very cold! It’s a nice cool off from riding in the hot sun. It is eerie, but cool in the tunnels. You can hear the echo of everyone’s voice, and every once in a while you might feel a water drop from the top of the tunnel. When you get out of the tunnel it takes a second for your eyes to adjust back to the sunlight, but it is well worth it! If this sounds fun to you, but you don’t have a bike they also have bike rentals there!  When you get back from you biking or hiking trip there is a heated pool area, miniature golf, and a game room that you can relax and hang out at!

I hope you can go to this campground and experience the fun tunnels like I got too! Just don’t forget your flashlights. The flashlights will definitely come in handy at this campground! Oh…How I love to go camping!
