Surface hardening and covering techniques were found and applied to reduce soil erosion and trail widening problems. Major remediation of the off-road bike trail system was carried out with positive acceptance from most trail users. Appropriate revenue must be found through the trail fee system to offset the impacts of use on these heavily use trails. Among the final recommendations of the study are trail design standards, continue separation of off-road bike trail from other users, initiate a statewide trail monitoring system, and apply learnings to other deteriorated trails. This entire report of 124 pages in length was originally published by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Bureau of Parks in May of 1996.
