Brillion, Wisconsin · Up to 2 miles return · Crushed-stone improved bicycle rail-trail

Start: Friendship — Horn Park return, Horn Park, Brillion, Wisconsin. Fresh DNR explicitly identifies Horn Park parking for this trail. Walk from ordinary park visitor spaces to signed Friendship main, respecting reserved/event spaces and internal vehicle interfaces. Use designated ordinary visitor spaces, respect reserved spaces and walk through the lot to the signed main path. The address identifies a public facility, not a surveyed stall.

Ride: Follow the signed main path west on the signed crushed-stone Friendship main toward Forest Junction. Turn after 1 outward mile or before the first public-road crossing, work barrier, uncertain continuation or uncomfortable transition, whichever comes first; retrace. Walk any initial lot or access-drive interface. Do not use a road or private-property detour.

Distance: Chosen 2-mile maximum return, not the full regional corridor or a surveyed parking-to-parking distance. Earlier interfaces shorten the outing; parking walking is extra.

Permission and effort: Source-backed ordinary bicycle use on the designated improved main path; walking-only spurs and adjacent private property are excluded. Fresh DNR specifically describes this named bicycle trail as level or fairly level. Qualitative effort guidance, not a measured maximum slope or survey of every lot ramp. Walk or turn before uncomfortable transitions.

Planning: DNR lists year-round use; choose daylight and obey current lot gates, closures and seasonal conditions. DNR explicitly says no Wisconsin state trail pass is required. Posted local parking and event terms, if any, govern. Ordinary pedal bicycles on designated improved main. Yield, announce passes and leash pets eight feet or less. Do not use adjacent natural branches, roads or snowmobile bypasses. Winter trail permissions do not guarantee comfortable bicycle conditions.

Access reviewed October 20, 2026 Central (October 21 UTC): DNR describes an existing four-mile route between Brillion and Forest Junction paralleling Highway 10. This is the improved trail, not a highway-shoulder ride or a promise that every connecting city path has the same surface. Turn before the first public road, work zone or uncertain continuation. Retained statewide notices were screened; absence of another matched notice is not a local field inspection. Current signs, work zones and actual tread govern. This is a dated source review, not a field inspection or current-day all-clear. Postpone for snow, ice, high water, soft tread or barriers rather than improvising a bypass.

Bring water and choose suitable weather. Parking walking is extra. No surveyed parking-space pin or navigable GPX is supplied.
