Hike Location/Address/Directions/Map

Bong State Recreation Area0 eight miles southeast of Burlington, WI on State Highway 142. The entrance is a little less than one mile west of State Highway 75. The latitude is 42° 38′ 6.8″ north and longitude 88° 7′ 36.5″ west. It is about 47 miles from Milwaukee, 71 miles from Chicago and 362 miles from Minneapolis.

Brief Trail Description

Red Trail (8.3 miles): The park’s longest trail touches on many vegetative types. On its far north end, the trail gives a nice overview of what much of the park’s topography looked like before the landscape was altered by the Air Force. After the trail leaves the west junction of the Red and Orange loops, it passes through some nice wetland areas before turning east toward the parking lot.= THERE ARE SPOTS THAT HAVE A SHORT CUT- THAT WE WILL CUT OFF THE 0.3 MILES. FOR THOSE WANTING 10 MILE 1 DA==> Green Trail (1.8 miles): The Green Trail is entirely north of Wolf Lake. A boardwalk between two small ponds is at the start of the trail, a good place to look for waterfowl. This trail travels through a beautiful restored prairie and a small woodlot with good spring wildflowers. One of the finest overviews of Wolf Lake exists on the return part of the loop, just past the turnoff for the Blue Trail. (WILL RE-WALK A PORTION OF THIS FOR THE NEEDED 0.2 MILES)

Trailhead is at Second Street West and Stafford Street intersection. Park at the small city park on the north side of First Street.

Brief Trail Description

The trail follows an abandoned railroad bed. The surface is natural and at times mixed with gravel. For the most part, the hike wanders through shady woods cross-country between two small mountain towns, following a small stream. This is a great hike for beginners, as the trail is wide and there’s hardly any elevation gain, so do come join us for all or a portion of the trail.

Brief Trail Description

Trails lead from North Bonneville around Hamilton Island, which was noted as “Strawberry Island” in the journals of Lewis and Clark, who remarked upon the abundance of strawberry runners they saw here. The current name remembers Samuel M. Hamilton, who took out a Land Claim here in 1850 and had a mountain, a creek, and an island named after him (The” island” is now connected to the mainland). This hike is notable for its views to closeby features in the Washington Gorge, such as Beacon Rock, Hamilton Mountain, and Table Mountain, as well as some unique views across to the the Oregon side, taking in Munra Point directly across and some waterfalls not normally seen except from the Washington side of the river. Cottonwoods fringe part of the island shore, while the interior is mostly a grassy expanse. In the late summer and early fall, low river levels allow adventurous hikers to cross to Ives Island, west of Hamilton Island, and locate the remains of old fishwheels as well as make a much closer approach to Beacon Rock (See the Ives Island Add-on Hike). Also, a trail leads from the east end of the island to join the short walking circuit around the Fort Cascades site.

Greater Swiss Mountain Club of the Rockies

Brief Trail Description

Just 30 miles from Las Vegas, near Boulder City, the gravel Historic Railroad Trail hugs the hills on the southern shoreline of vast Lake Mead. The rail-trail offers panoramic views of the manmade lake and snakes through five railroad tunnels on its way toward Hoover Dam.
Each of the five tunnels along the trail is 25 feet in diameter to accommodate the large equipment that passed through. In this unforgiving terrain, it’s impressive to consider the sheer magnitude of force needed to blast the path. Pioneer trails from early dam construction parallel the trail intermittently.
