Clear Lake Paved Bike Path

Clear Lake Paved Bike Path is a short, flat out-and-back route in American Legion State Forest in northern Wisconsin, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The path is about 0.3 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 72 feet, and it makes an easy addition to a day spent exploring the forest's network of trails. Winter is the natural season for cross-country skiing here. Typical averages from the nearby Minocqua weather station show January highs around 20°F with lows near 1°F and about 10 snow days, while May and September bring highs in the mid-60s and no snow days. The station sits a few hundred feet lower than the path, so temperatures on the route run slightly cooler. The Nature Trail Loop lies about 0.4 miles away, and the Red Loop and Blue Loop are each about 2 miles off. For an overnight stay, Cunard Lake Campground is roughly 3.3 miles away.
