15 Miles of Dodgeville Singletrack Now Open to Members
Ride the Longest Singletrack in the CORP Trails Network
It’s official: the full Dodgeville trail cluster is now OPEN, and we’re cranking up the stoke! This isn’t just another ribbon of dirt—it’s the longest trail system in the entire CORP network, and it's a must-ride destination.
Just north of Governor Dodge State Park, the Bethel Horizons + Thistle Hill combo delivers 15 miles of professionally-built singletrack through the rugged, rolling Driftless terrain. With big climbs, thrilling descents, technical features, and jaw-dropping views, this place was made for mountain bikers who love variety, technical challenges and flow! This experience is open to CORP Trails members only; renew or become a member here.
Bethel Horizons: Scenic Flow with Elevation
Over 5 miles of beginner-friendly, professionally built trails carve through bluffs and forests, offering the perfect mix of flow and challenge. With wide sight-lines and big elevation change, it's a top spot for new riders, families, or anyone looking for a scenic cruise that still keeps the heart rate up. Don’t forget to check the trail conditions page for closures, seasonal hours or special events. Bethel Horizons is closed to the public weekdays from June 15–August 15; (find more under “Things to Know”).
Thistle Hill: 10 Miles of Driftless Gold
With 10 miles, Thistle Hill contains two loops, a connector with options that rolls through pine and aspen groves, cuts across rocky ridges, and plunges into ravines.
Both loops have thrilling descents and climb their way back to the top—then go again. Some sections follow old logging routes used by early Norwegian settlers. Now? They're trails made for carving, jumping, and sending.
This is the full Thistle Hill experience—10 miles of backcountry bliss. It’s remote, peaceful, and packed with personality. Highlights include:
Bermed corners and fast descents
Rock features, squeezes, and armored climbs
Features with options (Structures with B-lines available!)
Long ridge-top cruising with incredible views
No trails without trailblazers—major thanks to the property owners who made this adventure possible!
Why This Place Matters
This grand opening marks a major milestone for CORP Trails. The Dodgeville cluster is now the longest trail system in our network, showing what’s possible when passionate volunteers, skilled builders, and dedicated landowners come together. It’s a showcase of what mountain biking in Wisconsin can be.
