Discover the enchanting story of America's first Rails-to-Trails project, where three mysterious railroad tunnels carved through Wisconsin limestone now beckon cyclists and hikers to explore 32.5 miles of scenic adventure. Join us as we journey through the rich history of the Elroy-Sparta Trail, from its days as a vital railway route to its modern transformation into a beloved recreational paradise, complete with tales of the lantern-carrying tunnel guards, determined trail pioneers, and the local communities that make this Wisconsin treasure truly unique.
