Mosinee

Mosinee is a short, easy hike in Wisconsin, about half a mile from the town of Winneboujou. The trail is an out-and-back, roughly 1.3 miles long, with a high point of about 1,236 feet and a low of about 1,187 feet. The climb is gentle, with a total gain of about 165 feet for the round trip, and the steepest stretch comes around 0.3 miles in at about a 5% grade. The most comfortable months for a visit are late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs near 64°F in May to about 78°F in July, with September easing back to around 67°F. That station sits about 236 feet lower than the trail's high point, so expect it to run a little cooler up top. Bikes are allowed on this trail. The trip takes about half an hour, making it a quick outing before or after exploring other nearby spots. The Brule River Gated Road lies about 6.6 miles away, and the North Country National Scenic and Bayfield County Forest are both about 7.8 miles off. Anglers can head to the Bois Brule River, roughly 8 miles from the trail.
