This trail welcomes visitors year-round, adapting its character with each season's arrival. Autumn steals the show with spectacular foliage that draws leaf-peepers from across the region, while spring and summer offer lush greenery and active wildlife. Winter adventurers should note that conditions can turn challenging—wet weather may leave sections slippery or muddy, and cold snaps bring ice to watch for—so check recent trail reports and dress accordingly. The varied surface types mean you'll find rideable or walkable sections in most conditions, making the Glacial Drumlin a four-season destination for those prepared for Wisconsin's weather.

Planning Tips

About Glacial Drumlin State Trail

Wind your way through 52 miles of Wisconsin's stunning glacial landscape on this versatile rail-trail, where smooth pavement and packed crushed gravel invite both cyclists and walkers to explore at their own pace. Journey from open farmland vistas to cool, shaded woodlands, with wetlands and sparkling lake views appearing around every bend—all supported by well-maintained trailheads that make your adventure comfortable from start to finish.

The Glacial Drumlin State Trail is a linear recreational corridor rather than a traditional developed campground. Camping-specific information is limited; sources note camping just outside Sullivan and a tent-only Sandhill Station State Campground about 3/4 mile south in Lake Mills.

Natural Features and SceneryThe trail's namesake drumlins—those distinctive oval hills sculpted by ancient glaciers—roll across the horizon as you pedal or stroll through a tapestry of landscapes. You'll transition from sunlit farm country and wildflower-dotted fields into hushed forest corridors, then emerge alongside tranquil marshlands where herons wade and turtles bask. Creeks babble beneath small bridges, wetlands teem with seasonal birdlife, and periodic lake views offer perfect spots to pause and soak in the scenery. Each season paints the trail anew, from spring's migrant songbirds to autumn's blazing color show that transforms the wooded sections into tunnels of gold and crimson.
