Biking and Hiking

Stower Seven Lakes State Trail


This county-operated, 14-mile trail runs from Amery nearly all the way to Dresser. Built on a former railroad corridor, the trail begins at Harriman Avenue in Amery, travels through Deronda, Wanderoos and Nye, ending about 1 mile from Dresser on 90th Avenue.

The trail is named to recognize the exceptional natural resources the trail traverses and the longtime public service and leadership demonstrated by Amery’s own Harvey and Marilyn Stower. Harvey Stower served in the Wisconsin Legislature and as Mayor of Amery for many years.

The trail has been brushed and graded. The surface is crushed gravel, and is presently open for silent sports including walking, biking, cross county skiing and snowshoeing. 

ATVs, snowmobiles and other motorized vehicles are prohibited on the Stower Seven Lakes State Trail.
