Looking for a way to get out and enjoy nature in the Northwoods? The Oneida County Biking and Walking Trails Council, Inc. is a collaborative effort to provide resources for walking, biking and paddling in the Oneida County area. They are making Oneida County more walk-able and bike-able by developing trails, bike lanes, and sidewalks. Walk"able" and bike"able" communities improve the quality of life for everyone.

While progress is being made in Oneida County to develop more trails, we need your help to develop a coordinated and comprehensive system of bike and pedestrian paths that connect all of our communities. Check out their website below for more information.
