Trail Information
Whether a person chooses to walk, rollerblade or bike, Janesville's paved trail system is a high-quality public resource that all community residents may enjoy. Please find below some general information about Janesville's trail system.
Bicycle trail maps are available at the Parks Division office, or here: Bicycle Trail Map. The City is in pursuit of connecting many neighborhoods with the Janesville segment of the Ice Age Trail. 31 miles of paved trail have been constructed throughout Janesville. From Janesville the statewide Ice Age Trail will one day connect to the west with the Sugar River Bike Trail, north to Milton/Fort Atkinson and east to the Kettle Moraine State Forest. Service dogs and wheelchairs are allowed on the bike trail year-round.
For information regarding the “open” or “closed” status or a map of the mountain biking trails at Rockport Park, please visit the Velo Club website: www.veloclub.org
