Brownstone Trail 
​Trail Reroute Information

Brownstone Trail Reroute Map - Click image to enlarge.

​Slumping occurred following nor’easter storms in October 2017 and 2018. Since then, erosion has continued to occur, and the trail is now completely gone in one area, leaving a large and deep gaping hole.

To help keep people safe and not cause additional damage, Landmark Conservancy has closed this section of the trail. Please, for your safety and to prevent further damage to the sensitive hillside, DO NOT enter the closed portion of the trail. Please use the routes shown on the map displayed above.

​There is no parking at the other end of the trail. Chequamegon Road is a privately-owned road. There is also no parking at Wild Rice Retreat unless you are a guest there. Parking along Lakeshore Drive is tight and discouraged.

Bayfield Area Trails is very pleased that Bob and Maria Fierek have generously granted public access across their property for non-motorized travel along the Big Ravine’s East Rim Trail, previously known as “The Old Snowmobile Trail.” This trail access provides an incredibly valuable connection for hikers, snowshoers, and cross-country skiers at the end of East Lynde Ave. off of North Second Street in Bayfield. Parking here is limited to on-street parking. If you park here, please DO NOT turn around in private driveways.
