Teuton E - Smokey's Run is an easy, 1.9-mile out-and-back hike in the Washburn Ranger District of Wisconsin's Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, managed by the Forest Service. The trail rises about 223 feet from its starting point, with a rolling climb that peaks at 1,338 feet and a steepest stretch of about 9% grade near the beginning. The route is on natural surface, and both bikes and horses are allowed. The trail is open from April 1 to November 30, and the trip takes about an hour. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July averages from a nearby weather station run around 77°F for highs and 56°F for lows, and the station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Several other routes start close by. Benchmark and Valkyrie B are cross-country ski trails about a tenth of a mile away, and the Ridgetop and Teuton D - Benchmark hikes are each about 0.3 miles off.
