Mountain Biking Anvil Trails
#100 of 388 mountain bike trails in Wisconsin
Desolate, rugged, and enclosed by pines on all sides; and in this case enclosed by water. Paths cover a wide variety of surfaces, from wide doubletrack paths on the West and North trails, to narrow cross-country ski paths on the Ninemile and Lake trails, to rough and challenging singletrack on Devil’s Run.

Boring, doubletrack trails. There is some climbing involved. Nothing technical about it and no singletrack. It's a way to avoid riding on the road.
| ThankThis was a fun flowing trail. The easy and easyist are double tracks. Well groomed. There are two tough climbs right out of the gate. Likely we took the wrong starting point. But fun as heck. Its a beginner in terms of obstacles. But intermediate in terms of hills. You can get some cardio and bomb the hills.
| ThankFun trail. I did the intermediate and easy. It's a fun trail. I never saw pavement. Double track on the easy. A bunch off uphills. But you also get downhills. Good cardio. And you can crash it.
| ThankThese trails are definitely not single track. They remind me of wide logging trails. I was very disappointed.
| ThankCool area surrounded by trees. The ratings are not to correct; I think they are rated for xc ski. At best the hardest is intermediate. Still has fun. We connected the system to the east as well. That was more fun.
| ThankRode the Anvil trails - they are not very technical, the easy and intermediate trails were completely challenge free. The advanced trail (Devil's Run) was very challenging - the climbs are super steep and the downhills very fast. These trails had not enough difference between the easy and intermediate- the advanced trail was fun and very challenging. A few log piles or something to spice up the intermediate trails would be good. Glad we got to ride them.
| ThankExcellent trail in old growth forest remnant with rare wildlife, single track fun, some technicalities and connections to the poorly maintained USFS trails just to the south. A very worthwhile place to spend half a day then go north to Anvil Lake for a swim.
