“No one has ever become poor by giving.”

Our annual banquet is a fundraising event that helps support the expansion of our trail project. The proceeds raised during this one night event will go towards the creation of a 26-mile biking and hiking loop that will pass through the charming small towns of Boscobel, Wauzeka, and Woodman.

Like the Ducks Unlimited Banquet-But BETTER!

Every year, this event gets bigger and better! A 100% donation sponsored event, we raise over $30,000 every. single. year. Why? Because there are so many one-of-a-kind items for Christmas giving for your families…or maybe even for you!

The Hike/Bike Banquet includes a silent, live, 50/50, and ROUNDS of ticket raffles. There are over 100 door prizes, and always includes an amazing meal! See our Facebook Page for photos of past donations!

This years Hike Bike banquet will be held at Boscobel Bowl and Banquet on Saturday, March 29,2025 and we’re expecting lots of great donations and good times!

Reservations are limited - a maximum of 200 tickets will be sold. You must be present to win and claim your prizes!

Still smiling after Saturday.

Our first-ever WRTO Pickleball & Cornhole/Bags Tournament is in the books—and we just want to say thank you.

To everyone who signed up, showed up, helped out, or just came to hang out: you made this happen. It was fun, a little competitive, and totally community-centered—just the way we hoped it would be.

A few special thanks are in order:

– Don and Lisa Howell for jumping in to help us put on the Cornhole/Bags side of things (we would’ve been lost without you!)

– Marsha Jones for bringing the music and the good energy

– And every single volunteer who pitched in to make the day run smoothly

And of course—congrats to our winners!

Pickleball:
1st – Drew & Taylor Frey
2nd – Brent & Kathy Robinson
3rd – Chance & Gentry Zimpel

Cornhole:
1st – Don & Lisa Howell
2nd – Michael Laxton & Reg Hudson
3rd – Stewart Trumm & Gabe Davis

Thank you again for being part of this. It was a great turnout for our first time, and we’re already looking forward to the next one.

See someone you know here? Go ahead and tag them in the photos - we'd appreciate it!

🎤 Trail Update Presentation at 10:30 AM with Mike Reynolds & Denise Fisher

After the update, stick around for a friendly group bike ride through town—no sign-up, just show up and ride.

We’ll have breakfast sandwiches, brochures, WRTO and Bulldog doormats, and a chance to sign up for our Birthday Calendar—but more than anything, we’re here to connect.

We’ve had a lot of folks asking where things stand with the trail.

This is a chance to stop by, ask questions, and hear what’s ahead—straight from the people working on it.

Come grab a bite, share your thoughts, and say hello.

It’s your trail. Let’s talk about it.

About the Trail

We plan to create another avenue for recreation and envision a healthier lifestyle for our community.

We want to capitalize on the natural resources in our area, share the beautiful bluffs and valleys of our Driftless region, and reinvent ourselves as a recreation destination to increase tourism and strengthen our local economy.

The community has come together to support our trail endeavors, and we look forward to meeting new friends along our path as we create a full 20+-mile loop over the next 10-15 years.

Make sure you follow our Facebook Page so you can keep up with all of our upcoming events, including the banquet!

Phase
One

The first phase was completed in 2016 and connects the Sanders Creek 2-mile walking/biking trail within the city of Boscobel, to our Von Haden Boat Landing, approximately 1 mile out of town.

Now all trail users are able to use the Wisconsin River Trail to walk or bike to the boat landing safely, view our natural habitat of eagles’ nests and turtle habitats as they travel, and more!

Phase
Two

In this phase we’ll create a hiking/biking trail that leads from Boscobel toward Woodman.

It is economically and environmentally- friendly to parallel parts of the railroad tracks, 51 feet from the tracks, to minimize the need to clear land, and also, to widen easements that are not taxing to the landowners.

Phase
Three

Phase 3 will bring the trail from Wauzeka to Boscobel along the scenic path of Highway 60, which closely follows the beautiful Wisconsin River.

Get ready to enjoy even more breathtaking views and a seamless trail experience from start to finish!

Phase
Four

The highlight of our trail will be a magnificent feat: a crossing over the Wisconsin River. This picturesque location features stunning country and river views, providing a unique opportunity to admire nature’s beauty that was previously only accessible by boat.

Get ready for a breathtaking experience on the Wisconsin River Trail!
