We're helping the River Trail Commission to develop this key trail connection between Eagle River and St. Germain. We've been sharing the details of a professional feasibility study and working with key stakeholders. Click here for more details.

Next step is to raise funds to build the trail's first segment! If you can help, download a donation form. Or donate online!

Additional Ways to Help

DONATE menu - boat donation

We no longer used our boat and thought why not donate the boat to a worthy cause. We believe in bike trail development in Vilas County. As a result, we thought what better organization to donate it to than the Great Headwaters Trails Foundation. We felt it was a win-win for everyone.
