Silver Creek Trails are located in the 1,200 acre, non-motorized, Barron County Forest – Silver Creek Unit, affectionately known by the locals as Mesenbring’s, after its namesake Mesenbring Ranch. In 2018, the trails became part of the CORBA trail system. Silver Creek Trails are hand built primitive style single track. The system has a very remote and wandering feel with a healthy amount of elevation. There are fast and flowy sections with some long heart pumping climbs and technical features. The trails also take you along the Turtle Creek which is a class 2 trout stream that provides excellent fishing and kayaking opportunities. The system now has approximately 6.5 miles of single track with 7 plus miles of access roads available for biking, hiking, snow shoeing, and adventure style cross country skiing.

Users should be aware of fall hunting seasons and exercise caution and courtesy when hunters are present.

Trails are not closed for weather in any form, though we recommend trail etiquette. These are primitive and rugged with rocks and roots available year round. You’ll be surprised at the challenging amount of elevation change in this modest forest.
