River Pines Trail



Length: 3.0 miles
Surface: Crushed granite trail and sidewalks
Activities: Hiking, jogging, biking, pets
Parking: Stevens Point Care Center on Sherman Ave. (south), downtown Stevens Point (north)

The River Pines Trail extends from the Stevens Point Care Center parking lot in the south to the Highway 66 bridge over the Wisconsin River in the north.

The majority of the trail meanders through natural forest as it follows the Wisconsin River shoreline. One of the most scenic portions of the trail, this section offers views of rocky outcroppings, islands, large white pine and oak trees, and incredible sunsets. A short portion near downtown follows sidewalks along Water Street, where several historic houses stand.

West Side Loop Alternative
At the County Hwy. HH intersection (traveling north), instead of staying on the River Pines Trail, you can cross the bridge over the Wisconsin River and follow the marked West Side Loop (2.4 miles) as an alternative route.
