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
A portion of the River Pines Trail will be closed starting on April 10 due to flooding. For your safety and to protect the trail, please follow all signage. Other portions of the trail are still very soft and susceptible to erosion. PLEASE AVOID RIDING YOUR BIKE ON THE TRAIL DURING THE SPRING THAW. Tire ruts channel water and can lead to long-term and costly trail damage. Thank you for helping to protect your Green Circle!
