Flyover Country

Flyover Country is a short but intense black diamond mountain biking trail in Wisconsin, about 0.8 miles from Fond du Lac, Minnesota. The trail is an out-and-back with a total length of about 1.6 miles and a one-way climb of about 59 feet, but the route is steep and technical, with a steady grade that peaks at about 5% around the 0.34-mile mark. The high point is about 934 feet, and the low point is about 867 feet. The trail is a demanding test of advanced riders' skills, with technical descents and root networks that require solid mountain biking experience. The one-way routing is designed to maintain flow and safety on the more technical sections. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Foxboro, Wisconsin, run to highs around 78°F in July and 76°F in August, with lows in the mid-50s. Loki and Lower Cathedral are both within a third of a mile, and the St. Louis River Trail is about half a mile away. Climbers can find Trailside Boulders about 1.4 miles off.
