Trow Trail is a short, easy cross-country ski route in Clark County Forest, on county land in Wisconsin. The trail is about half a mile long and sits at roughly 1,000 feet, with a high point of about 1,030 feet. It's an out-and-back with a back-loaded climb, so the steepest stretch comes near the start, and the total gain and loss are each about 68 feet. Winter is the natural season for skiing here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Neillsville show January highs around 24°F with lows near 5°F, while March runs a bit milder, with highs around 41°F. The trail sits close to several other routes. Oak Island and Moundbounder are both about 0.1 mile away, and Swamp Cut, a mountain biking trail, is also about 0.1 mile off. For paddling, Halls Creek is about 8 miles away.
