MARINETTE CITY GUIDE

BIKING IN MARINETTE
Bicycling in Marinette is truly a family affair.
From the minute the snow melts, you can expect to see
cyclists on every road and in every corner of county.
In fact, a bicycle tour of Marinette should definitely
include a visit to one of our many waterfalls, a ride
along the scenic shores of Green Bay or a trip through
the canopy of the forest.
Marinette offers trails that can be a bit
difficult for the average bicyclist. We offer many other
routes that anyone can enjoy covering various types of
geographical terrain.
Regardless of which type of cycling you like to
engage in, Marinette terrain ranges from flat to fairly
hilly. You can expect to find a wide variety of biking
opportunities as you travel along.
All the cycle routes in Marinette are paved.
The routes are scenic and most sections have very
low traffic volume. If you want to venture off the beaten
path, but aren’t looking for an extreme experience, you
can always ride the snowmobile and winter ATV trails
for a milder off-road adventure.
Each June, bicyclists from all over the world
come to Marinette to take part in the Leow Strong Bike
Ride; formerly the Menominee River Century Bike
Ride. The ride is a perfect ride for both experienced
and beginning riders. It is also a fun time to be with
family. Established as one of the Midwest’s finest
bicycle rides it features routes from 10 to 100 miles.
