Tetanus Shot is a short, flat out-and-back mountain biking route in Lowes Creek County Park in Wisconsin, on county land. The climb is only about 13 feet, and the route is roughly 0.22 miles long, so it works as a quick stop or a warm-up before heading to other trails in the park. The route starts at about 870 feet and reaches a high point of 877 feet, with the steepest stretch at about 0.05 miles in, where the grade is about 3%. The total gain and loss are both 13 feet, so it's a nearly level ride. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Eau Claire show July highs around 82°F with lows near 62°F, while winter highs stay in the 20s. Several other mountain biking routes sit about 0.1 miles away, including Worm, Willinator and Rebench. Long Trail South is about 0.2 miles off.
