Wolf River State Trail (Langlade County)
Property Master Plan
The Wolf River State Trail in Langlade County is a DNR rail-trail used for hiking, biking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing (ungroomed), ATV/UTV riding and snowmobiling. All DNR lands are open to foot travel, unless posted as closed. Specific segments of the existing trail within the county limit different recreational uses (e.g. ATV/UTV). The full length of the Wolf River State Trail corridor extends 44 miles (north-south) on a former rail corridor from the Menominee and Langlade County line, north through Langlade County and into Forest County, currently ending in the city of Crandon.
The Forest County portion of the trail is managed in partnership with the county and was planned in the North Central Forest Regional Master Plan (approved April 2026). The second half of the trail runs through Langlade County, and until April 2026, had been managed in partnership with Langlade County.
