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
Much of the Green Circle Trail is currently inaccessible due to the violent storms on July 19-20. Numerous trees are down over the trail along with major flooding and washouts. Portage County Parks and Stevens Point Parks will be clearing the trail this week. For your safety, please avoid using the trail until further notice.
Announcements

On July 23-24, the Moses Creek Trail will be closed between the parking areas on Wilshire Drive and in Yulga Park. In an effort to make the trail safer and less slippery, the long boardwalks on this section will be power washed. After drying for about 10 days, a heavy-duty textured paint will be applied to provide more grip for hikers and bicyclists. Click here to see the detour map.
