Pine Run is a cross-country ski route in Clark County Forest in northern Wisconsin, on county land. The route is short and low, with an out-and-back length of about half a mile and a total elevation gain of about 50 feet. The climb is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.14 miles in, where the grade reaches about 7%. Winter is the natural season for this run. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Neillsville show January highs around 24°F and lows near 5°F, while February is similar with highs around 29°F. The forest sits at about 1,000 feet, so temperatures on the ski trails may run slightly cooler. The route starts close to Bad Bear, another cross-country ski area about 0.1 mile away, and Jackrabbit Draw is about 0.3 mile off. Mountain bikers can ride Upper Glen and Lower Glen, both about 0.2 mile away.
