The Bearskin Trail runs from Minocqua on the north, down to County Highway K for a total of 18 miles. The Trailhead in Minocqua has a playground and a swimming beach. This trail is noted for its woodlands and many lakes. It has several trestles, and crosses the Bearskin Creek numerous times. Since the surface is granite, it may not be as compacted as a limestone trail.
