Middle School Loop

Middle School Loop is a 0.44-mile loop in College Street Park, a city-managed park in Wisconsin. The route rises from about 1,122 feet to about 1,169 feet, with a total elevation gain of 35 feet and a total loss of 50 feet. The climb is short, but the steepest stretch comes early, at about 0.14 miles in, with a grade of 6 percent. Winter is the natural season for cross-country skiing here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Spooner show January highs around 21°F and lows near 1°F, while March runs about 40°F by day and 18°F at night. The station sits at a similar elevation to the loop, so these figures are a fair guide to conditions on the trail. The loop sits among several other short routes in the park. Roller Loop is about 0.1 mile away, The Pit about 0.3 mile, and Field Loop and High School Loop each about 0.4 mile.
