Rails on Trails is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization (501c3) in Washburn County. We are dedicated to providing outdoor trail sport and recreation opportunities to people of all ages, promoting healthy living and the enjoyment of nature. To accomplish this we:
· Lead local youth cross country ski and mountain bike programs and clubs in coordination with Spooner Schools.

· Develop and maintain 22 kilometers of cross country ski trails, 18 miles of fat bike trails, 24 miles of mountain bike trails and 4.5 miles of running trails at three locations in the Spooner area.
SPOONER CITY PARK is located just north of the Spooner Middle School and offers groomed and lighted ski trails, snowshoe and mountain biking trails and is also a great place to go for a run or hike.
BEAVER BROOK STATE WILDLIFE AREA is located just south of Spooner with a parking area on Cranberry Drive, 1 mile off the Highway 53 intersection and offers multiple loop trails groomed for classic cross country skiing.
WILDCAT MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS are located 4 miles east of Spooner with parking just off of Highway 70 and offers a combination of single track, old logging roads and portions of ATV trail for a wide variety of mountain and fat bike riding skills and experience with winter trail grooming.
