SaveThe Cross Plains Driftless Downs trail system is open to the public thanks to our amazing volunteers, the support of our community, and, of course, CORP Trails. The mileage tally comes in at 4 miles of single track plus another mile of boardwalk trail if you park in the lot at Mill Creek Parkway. Ride a unique blend of climbs, descents, berms, rocky outcrops, woods, prairies, cliffs, and scenic overlooks. Enjoy great views of the driftless area as every trail wraps the hillside and gives you an elevated perspective.
Trail access is located along the sidewalk on the south side of CTH KP just west of Bourbon Road. The trail begins with a challenging climb, but you’re rewarded up on top with more gentle terrain and fantastic views.
