Wisconsin's TOP 5 Dual Sport Motorcycle Trails! (According to Swanky Cat)

[@Iox4094]

Awesome video! The Rock Dam, WI trails might be worth checking out!

[@tieoneon1614]

WI has millions of miles of logging roads with off shoot trails that connect each other. Fortunately for me, my home area is very void of cell reception and the lakes are too swampy to put a vacation rental house on so it keeps the FIB's and Milw/Madison yuppies with their $ away. The license plate lets u get away from UTV's and the problems they bring also. Keeping my KLX but now that I seen the new XR650L in the retro white/black Im gonna pick one up for this fall.

[@gorfpatrol2073]

Last one reminds me of the Keweenaw ,, just no lake superior

[@jonsadevntures433]

Pretty sure west of medford, the Perkins town trails are open to bikes also? Great video Ben!

[@hokogan]

The Tamaracks just north of Eagle River are excellent singletrack trails. Greg has done a fantastic job out there.

[@SwankyCatProductions]

I need to make time to get up there and check it out.

[@hokogan]

@@SwankyCatProductions Definitely. The green and blue loops would be 701-friendly. Black loop, not so much.

[@hokogan]

@@SwankyCatProductions By the way, the Norsemen MC put on a pretty good ADV/DS ride out of Danbury WI in the fall. That’s worth checking out too.

[@jimriley2812]

Nice. Definitely miss all the great northwoods trails!!!!

[@Reedifus1]

Got my bike yesterday. Thanks for the video. Gives me some trails to target.

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Cool! What did you get?

[@peteb6072]

So excited.. my new Pan American almost had 400 miles on it before the computer crapped out and it had to go back to Harley for a couple weeks… Harley did let me borrow a different one until the figure it out… meanwhile my KLR has 17,000 miles.. just tires.. chain & sprocket change .. and the doo.. not an exciting bike.. but better then sitting in the shop

[@mcclen03able]

Great video as always .. Will be spending 4 days in August in north central Wisconsin … Any good day rides.. Will be camping entire trip .. T7,800xc , and KLR looking for full day rides on trails and just good roads..

[@graymangw6016]

All the great trails are north and west, SE Wisconsin is a bummer. At least I have a good idea how far to go now. Keep up the content. Chapers and location lists would be appreciated in the next video.

[@billcotton1551]

So you do have some hills in Wisconsin. I see. I liked seeing the one with the Autumn leaves.

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Haha yeah in a few spots. Down in the south west part of the state it's actually really hilly in some spots. Yeah the fall colors always make for cool footage!

[@bodeanaventures]

Good stuff always appreciate your channel

[@ericrusch8258]

Langlade “The County of Trails”. Also blessed to be fun ride to our dual sport friendly in Lincoln and the related superb Harrison Hills. Ben don’t loose site of Forest County and the self proclaimed “Dual Sport Capital” of Wabeno. Looking forward to meeting you out there and if you need anything, we are in Elcho. Also slip over to the Perkinstown WI area for giggles.

[@hokogan]

My father-in-law lives just outside of Elcho. I usually find an excuse to bring a bike when we visit.

[@ericrusch8258]

@@hokogan reach out if you’re planning to be in the area.

[@matthaiduk]

Whoa. Never thought I'd see Elcho on here. We ride out of Post Lake. Don't let it get out how good the riding is around there.

[@ericrusch8258]

@@matthaiduk lol right and the snowmobile season … no good despite great parking, groceries, gas station and restaurants. Your right! Folks, move along nothing to see here. Whew that was close..

[@hokogan]

@@ericrusch8258 We’ll be there over Memorial weekend, actually. I’m likely bringing a bike, maybe heading up to The Tamaracks.

[@armored-clown]

Love your stuff man I’m in east central MN and we have very few options around. Just bought a WI annual pass and hope to get out to a couple of these on my 21’ DRZ

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Thanks! Yeah the Clark county trails and black river falls should both be good options. I think there are a few sports north of there too. Perkinstown in the national forest is neat too, but pretty easy going with lots of flat trails.

[@AlwaysDoingSomething]

Ride the Perkinstown trail west of Medford. Open to OHM's and dual sport. Honestly, WI needs to change their approach to OHM's. We're pathetic compared to other states.

[@annien4353]

Great video, Ben 👍🏻

[@phillipbatho3213]

Ever been to the Bayfield county, or Vilas county trails??

[@ericrusch8258]

Great question..

[@zachb86]

Thanks for this :) New subscriber

[@ggs0605]

Ben, as a fellow Wisconsinite, I am happy to have trail available from Appleton. Are any of these trails seen on Gaia, trailx or other such apps? I would love to find an app or device (Garmin Zumo) to explore and see what’s out there both near me and far away (different states and countries).
Thank you!

[@wiscomoto]

I've been looking for more info on central Wisconsin stuff. I'm in Point. I know a lot around Lacrosse, but haven't had an ADV bike in several years, and only really checked out Dryacuse up here.

[@noahgullion2]

Which ones are by lacrosse?

[@nickbazan27]

could a wr250r do dyracuse? honda crf450l?

[@mattbarrois8675]

I will be there July 10th-20th at the lake house going to try and convince my wife to allow me to bring the bike 🤣

[@claydelsman1637]

Great info Ben 👍. Tigerton tho is it really klr friendly?

[@DylanDoes490]

can you do a illnois top 5?

[@JonBennett-zt6wk]

Wow, never have rode trails and looking for good beginner trails. I have small bike CRF300 L Rally...Im 61 and anybody have a good idea to get started on easy trails in SW Wisconsin...any help would be appreciated.

[@travisbaker445]

Hey Ben, can i ask a dumb question. I’m relatively new to this ADV riding scene and bought a 23 klr after watching every single one of your videos. What GPS system do you recommend? I would love to have one that supports the trails also. Not an abundance of awesome riding here in southern Indiana.

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Hey, I'm glad to hear the videos were helpful! I've actually got used Garmin Nuvi units on all my bikes. You can usually find one on eBay that looks like it's in good shape for under $40. They aren't waterproof or anything and you need some sort of shock/vibration absorbing mount, but the way I look at it, worst case your only out $40 if anything happens. I'm not sure if VVMapping has any of the trails by you but they do have at least 3 or 4 other states now, so maybe they will some day? But all you need to do is stick their SD card in the gps and you get all the trails and public land info.

[@travisbaker445]

Thank you very much!! If your ever down in Southern Indiana and wanna ride , hit me up.

[@stevehalfpap8514]

Is Harrison Hills trails on the GPS?

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Yep, VVMapping.com sells an SD chip you just stick in and then you've got all sorts of trails and public land borders.

[@stevehalfpap8514]

Thank You!@@SwankyCatProductions
