Trail Overview

The Hill City Trail runs between the Rabey Line and Soo Line Trails, as the name suggests it takes you over, on the side of and around area hills. This trail is 14.2 miles long and takes just under an hour with average speeds of 16.3 MPH including time to take trail pictures. This trail is easy to follow with changes in scenery, hills, ridges, and from lightly wooded to open areas and wetlands. You will find "Floating Bridges" to cross some of the wetlands areas. The North Wood Quads Club has several picnic areas, including 2 covered picnic areas. (This trail overlaps a snowmobile trail named "Haypoint Trail" in areas so don't let the signage get you off trail.)

Difficulty

This hilly terrain is made easy on the trail system, be aware some of the side hills will become slippery in rainy weather. As with all hills keep right and reduce speed expecting to meet others. The 3 rating is due to narrow areas of "floating bridges" that are along the low land swamp areas and care will be needed when meeting other riders. (One vehicle width with places to pass)
