Description
Because this trail system is relatively new, the trail hasn't been officially named, yet. The trail consists of two out and back connector trails and a loop. If you leave from the Bear Paw and ride everything you will have put on about 19.5 miles. Definitely worth the trip! Some of the sweetest flowing singletrack Wisconsin has to offer, and enough technical stuff to put even some of the most experienced riders' skills to the test!!! If you think riding over logs is fun, keep an eye out for the M.O.A.B. (Mother of All Boulders)! Basically it's a 4 ft. boulder that you ride up and over. This place is SWEET!!!

Review: I thought this trail was very rough. The singletrack needs a ton of work, as there is No Flow. It's very slow moving and if the trail is even just a little wet it is very dangers to ride. The boulders are pretty sweet tho. Not worth a 4 hour dive.
Similar Trail: If u like going 4-6 mph, then you would like Blue Mounds State Park.

Review: This trail is a real fun to ride and you will not find any other trail like this. Leave your front brakes at home and enjoy rolling over those HUGE boulders. And you'll be impressed how hurricane can change landscape - an enormous empty area that used to be a forest before. Could be a destination for a few day biking (campsites available next to trailhead). The only one thing is that a bit hard to locate that trailhead at first time.
Review: 2nd best trail system in WI after Levis Mound. I wouldnt say epic but it has alot to offer. Hilly, not typical flat WI cross country trails. Big ridable boulders. Fun comes after a few times of riding it. I saw a bear ones there with my pal. Lots of wilde blackberries.

Review: This is a premier mtb facility in Wis. All done by a group of dedicated cyclist. EPIC. No shit. It is an unbelievable system. World class, almost. it connects two popular camping spots and lakes. And there is a private outfitter on the northern end that has now connected their trail system. spend a long weekend, at the minimum.

Review: Easy to get speed and keep it since there isn't lots of major climbs. Some good work on this trail and I think its a very fun trail, especially with other riders. I love the Nicolet Forest and Bear Paw area so this trail makes for a great time with fellow bikers. As one of the other reviewers said there are lots of forest roads in the area so you can bring families or different ability groups and the serious bikers can hit up this trail and the kids or beginners can build up their legs on the forest roads- just don't let them get lost, it can take some time to track them down.
Review: Road the Nicolet Roche trail both south and north of Hwy 64, and it was awesome. Not any big climbs, but plenty of up-and-down action. Lots of roots and bumps, but not too technical. You can carry your speed well, and the tight single track makes it feel like you are just flying along. This is a great trail.

Review: the trail now has a name. The Nicolet Roche trail.
nick-oh-lay row-shay. Roche is French for rocks and this trail has them. This not the typical xc trail. Leave your little sister at home. You can ride around the boulders, but test your skills and try to ride over 'em. We stopped counting, but there are at least 30 boulders in play.... I'm told there is more trail to come, with even more rideable rocks/boulders.
Similar Trail: Combine challenge and scenery with whimiscal trail design and you've got nothing else like it in the state of wisconsin. Not a beginner trail, but there are miles and miles of forest roads to ride in the area for the novices in your group.
