With the opening of the Plover River Crossing Trail Spur, all sections of the Green Circle Trail are now reopened for biking and hiking. Be sure to visit the new trail spur for incredible views of the Plover River and to discover Native American artists' perspective of the land!

The Plover River Crossing Trail Spur can be accessed from the Plover River Trail section of the Green Circle, just north of Hofmeister Drive. The spur is being maintained by the City of Stevens Point.

The Plover River Trail is the ultimate all season, all activity trail. In the spring, summer, and fall, the 3.8-mile trail is perfect for biking, hiking, and running. In the winter the trail is groomed for cross country skiing with several loops of varying lengths for beginner and experienced skiers. And it gets better; the Plover River Crossing at the south end of the trail is now open to the public! Stop by the grand opening on August 22nd at 10:45 am at Peters Family Park.

Extra! Extra! Head on down to the Paper Mill Trail and take a relaxing stroll through the trees as you pass by the Plover and Wisconsin Rivers. Stop along the shores for a chance to see some amazing waterfowl and maybe even an osprey! Or take a detour and visit the historic spring house, where the Plover Paper Company pumped high quality water for their fine paper production.

The Plover River Crossing provides a new connection to the Green Circle, and another great recreational opportunity for the Stevens Point area. Congratulations!

The Green Circle Trail is full of history, and the McDill Trail is no exception. Visitors to the trail can look out over a portion of the 260-acre impoundment of the Plover River to enjoy the sights of McDill Pond. What was once a valuable center for various milling operations in the area can now be enjoyed by visitors looking to hike, bike, or wander.
