Embark on an easy touring bicycle ride along the Newberry Trail, a pleasant 5.9-mile (9.5 km) route that takes about 33 minutes to complete. You'll experience diverse scenery, cycling alongside the Fox River where you can spot navigational canal locks and an active rail line. The path, which gains a gentle 113 feet (34 metres) in elevation, winds through shaded wooded sections, open grasslands, and residential areas. Keep an eye out for the restored Soo Line steam engine as you pass through Telulah Park, offering a unique visual landmark. While mostly paved, be prepared for some sections of singletrack gravel that add a little variety to your journey.
Planning your ride on the Newberry Trail is straightforward. You can generally find parking available at Telulah Park, which offers convenient access right at the trailhead. The route is suitable for most touring cyclists due to its mellow nature. Consider starting your ride in the morning or late afternoon to enjoy cooler temperatures and potentially fewer people on the path. This trail is accessible year-round, making it a flexible option for a quick outing.
This trail stands out for its unique blend of natural beauty and historical elements within the urban landscape of Appleton, Wisconsin. As you cycle, you'll not only enjoy the riverside views but also pass by the Appleton Swing Railroad Bridge, a notable piece of local infrastructure. The presence of the restored Soo Line steam engine in Telulah Park adds a touch of industrial heritage to your outdoor experience. It's a great option if you're looking for a short, easy ride with varied points of interest.
