Pine Line Trail
The Pine Line Trail is a rail-trail in Taylor County, and Price County, Wisconsin.
Description
The actual trail is 26.2 miles (42.2 km) long and is named for the huge quantities of eastern white pine shipped on the route between 1876 and 1988 by the Wisconsin Central Railroad, and because of the beautiful strands of pine which presently clothe the trail.[1]
The trail generally follows a north-south path along Wisconsin Highway 13. The trail's southern terminus is at Medford, Wisconsin in Taylor County, with the trailhead near Prentice, Wisconsin in Price County.
The Pine Line is open for non-motorized use such as bicycling, hiking, and jogging from April 1-November 30. Snowmobiles and ATV's are allowed on the trail from December 1-March 31 (weather permitting). There are no fees for annual use.
Annual events are scheduled on the trail such as the Dairyland Marathon and Volksmarsch which is held on the fourth Saturday of April.[2]
