The Green Circle is a 27-mile scenic hiking and biking trail that loops through the Stevens Point area and connects with over 45 miles of additional trails. It winds through forests and parks, over wetlands, and along rivers, recalling the days of huge pineries, pioneer settlements, and the lore of the Wisconsin and Plover Rivers.

Current Trail Conditions

(Updated July 3, 2024)

There is a detour this summer at the north end of the River Pines Trail near the Stevens Point water treatment plant due to road construction on Bliss Street and Mason Street. Please follow the detour signs.

All other sections of the Green Circle are open to walking, running, and biking. With the continuing rain and storms, please bike slowly and watch for eroded areas (especially on hills) or trees/branches over the trail. Be sure to report any potential trail hazards by contacting us here.

A portion of the Moses Creek Trail from Wilshire Drive to Yulga Park will be CLOSED from Saturday, November 23 to Sunday, December 1 for the gun deer hunting season. Please obey all signs and detour around this section. Respect our neighbors who hunt the private land adjacent to the trail; without their support, the Green Circle Trail wouldn't be possible. The trail section will reopen on Monday, December 2. Good luck, deer hunters!

Nice cool afternoon GCT ride on the Westside Loop, then picking up a library book downtown before finishing through Iverson Park and south to home.
A few dog walkers and one other biker.

Thanks to all who donated time, resources and creativity to the newest artistic light pole along the Riverfront trail near the Green Circle founders’ kiosk. The backpack bird watcher light pole was designed by Mackenzie Biadasz, a senior in UWSP College of Fine Arts & Communication.
