According to CAMBA, "you will love this ride!"
For an entertaining, remote ride through the CAMBA Trail system, [dubbed]( the "Singletrack Capital of the Midwest," consider pedaling the Makwa Trail to the Hatchery Loop, and back again. This trail system in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest is home to over 300 miles of trail, making it difficult to pick the perfect ride. But the Makwa Trail to Hatchery receives rave reviews from riders all over the internet.
CAMBA's high-quality trail building is fully on display on this ride. High-quality bench cut singletrack provides delightful swoop and flow, creating such an entertaining ride quality that you'll be covering miles upon miles of singletrack before you even realize just how far you've pedaled! CAMBA themselves characterizes the Makwa trail as "twisting, climbing, fun, flowing singletrack," [asserting that]( "you will love this ride!"
The Hatchery Trail, the loop reward on the end of this lollipop, consists of "rolling singletrack, moderately technical through glaciated terrain," [according to CAMBA]( It's "not a beginner's trail, but a thoroughly fun singletrack romp."
Hatchery is located just outside the town of Hayward, which serves as a tourism hub in Northern Wisconsin. With in-town tourism attractions, lodging, food, and craft beer, Hayward is the perfect basecamp for riding in the area (if you don't want to camp). Consequently, Hatchery is one of the most easily-accessible trails in the massive CAMBA trail system. If the 29.5-mile lollipop route mapped here is too much for you, consider just riding the 8.9-mile Hatchery trail which offers "1, 2, 4, 6, and 7 mile cut-offs." Written by Greg Heil
