Enjoy an easy ride on a paved surface from Jim Falls to Brunet Island and back. The abandoned railroad trail follows the Chippewa River closely in some sections and offers scenic views of trees, fields, and ponds.

We’ll pass by the new Cobban bridge on the way to Brunet Island at about the 5-mile mark. Round-trip, the full distance is about 30 miles and takes an average of 3.5 hours to complete.

Bring a snack because we will be stopping at Brunet Island State Park to eat before heading back to Jim Falls.

A State Trail Pass is required. Daily passes are available for $5 and can be purchased at Jim Falls Cenex Convenience Store, 19786 139th Ave, Jim Falls, WI.

Meet at the trailhead in Jim Falls, 13836 County Hwy S.
