The Pine Line Trail spans 26.2 miles of former railroad bed between Taylor and Price counties and is named for the primary cargo shipped on the Wisconsin Central Railroad for over 100 years: eastern white pine. Tall pines still line the path to remind you of this rich history. Enjoy meandering scenery from dairyland, wetland, and rolling forests, including a trestle bridge and restored train depot waypoint in Ogema. From April to November, the limestone and gravel trail is open to bicyclists and hikers. Horses may also use four feet of clearance on the righthand side. During the remaining months, December through March, the trails are open for ATV and snowmobile use, weather permitting.
Access the Pine Line Trail in Taylor County from the Allman Street parking area in Medford or along municipal streets in the cities of Ogema, Westboro, Chelsea, and Whittlesey.
