Description: Unrelenting hilly terrain over moderately technical trails through deep forest with many wilderness lakes. Lots of climbing and contoured trail. Two cut offs for shorter ride. Hildebrand Lake Loop of 3 miles is the most technical of all the CAMBA trails.

Had the privilege of getting to ride this trail on my family's past summer trip to Wisconsin. I didn't have a whole lot of time to ride this trail, but the parts that I did ride were a LOT of fun. A great up-and-down workout, with lots of technical rocky sections (hence the name). If you are ever in the area you should definitely check this out, or make it part of a bike trip destination. I'd say from what I rode, a good portion of the trails are intermediate, but there were also some parts that were Black Diamond. Another trail that I rode while I was in Wisconsin was Nine Mile Trail, which is also great.

Sweet flowing single track with lots of rocks. Many large boulders to ride over. Includes a feature called Wallstreet that is an armored steep descent with drops that is heart stopping! New trail is continually being built here so there is always something new to ride. A must do!
Similar Trail: Copper Harbor in Michigan is the closest thing I can think of.

I was out here with a few friends mid October, so the leaves were all down, but still got to enjoy the fall colors. Being as close to the Minneapolis area as it is, I'm surprised I'd never been here before. The trail is pretty well marked for the most part and fairly easy to follow even with all the leaves on the ground. I will definitely be returning to visit in the Spring/Summer next year, but will have to plan my trips around "Mosquito Season", as dealing with those little buggers is never fun.
Similar Trail: Hatchery Creek, Mosquito Brook and Makwa are all near by and also good rides. I recommend stopping at one of the local bike shops and picking up a complete CAMBA trail map set. Nine Mile State Forest in Wausau is also pretty similar, and a few of the trails around Minneapolis are also comparable.

I've biked around the world, this is my home trail, and it compares just as nicely to many of the best trails I have ridden. Though all are unique, this one wins for flow! If you want to ride for hours on end on a thin dirt ribbon through dense wilderness without having to dismount. This is it. Don't stop for long, the mosquitos are relentless and keep your eyes peeled for black bears, they probably out number you out on this area. Go out and enjoy and support CAMBA. This trail is not going to provide much of a challenge so push yourself on the limits of speed and fun!
Similar Trail: Trails around Athens, Ohio... new greenbush system in northern kettle, some of the suburban singletrack around mpls.

Nice trail, some good technical rock gardens. Lots of speed on the trails and some very beautiful scenery. Lots of other trails in the area with some great camping as well.

This is a great singletrack ride in northern wisconsin. Some cool bridges, lots of awesome bench cut trail, and some nice obstacles. Would love to get back and ride it again!

Pleasant singletrack that flows with many small climbs and turns around the lake. Not an epic, but definitely worthwhile if you find yourself in the area.
