The Cattail State Trail travels for 18 miles on a former rail corridor between the communities of Amery and Almena in northwestern Wisconsin. Forests, farmlands, prairies, hills and various wildlife habitats surround the trail, which also passes through the Village of Turtle Lake.
A state trail pass is not required to use the Cattail State Trail.
All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are allowed on the trail year-round. Off-road motorcycles are allowed on the trail year-round in Polk County only. The entire trail is open to walking and bicycling, though bicycling is not recommended. The trail may be rough or soft in many sections. If you plan to bike the trail, the tread is more suitable for off-road bikes.
