Description: A combined Mountian Biking, snowshoeing, XC ski and horse trail. This trail has a little bit of everything, the marquee of the park is the great single tracks that are only about 5 miles from the city of Wausau. The trail costs $4.00 to ride and $20.00 for an annual pass, but it is well worth it. Maps are available at the entrance and throughout the park. Single tracks 5,6,7,8 and 9 are fun blasts through the woods, (think of the speeder bike chase in Return of the Jedi) and trail "D" takes you to single tracks 12 and 11 which are more technical romps up about 100' of elevation. From the end of 11 take a left then a right to trail "P" and "L" which are wide trails which wind up and down the side of a hill for a pretty good cardio challenge. These are the trails that I usually ride, but there is a lot more of the park to explore including some technical single tracks on the east side of Red Bud Road, which I've ridden but not extensively.

Wow, coming from the East side of the state and riding this I was suprised. Its a mix of fast and twisty singletrack with a great mix of rock gardens. The trails are well maintained and even with the large amount of rain and holding a 24 hour event the trails were still easy to ride and a blast. There are plenty of loops and connectors that you can use to avoid stuff you don't prefer.

Rode this about a week and a half ago while on a camping trip. I had a lot of fun. The trails were set up really nicely. It was easy to get around to different parts of the trail via service roads, and the trails were well marked. There is a good variation in difficulty from trail to trail, but it seemed that most of them ranked as intermediate. Although, there were a few advanced trails, such as 11, 13, and part of 3 that I rode, that had some difficult, technical rocky sections. There were no real big climbs or huge descents that I saw. The only trails I didn't ride were 14, 12, and part of 11. The whole trail was just natural trail with no wooden structures, that I saw, and a lot of little up and down hilly parts that made it a really fun, flowing ride. The trail now costs $4 to ride.

I love this network. Nine Mile is challenging for both beginners and an advanced rider. There are at least 27 miles of trails and you can spend a whole day riding at Nine Mile and never get bored. Trails are well maintained and in some areas, very fast and technical.
