White River Trail

The White River State Trail is a 19.7-mile trail composed of two separate segments: a 12-mile stretch that runs between Elkhorn and just west of Burlington in Walworth County, and a 7-mile section that connects the unincorporated community of Kansasville near Eagle Lake to downtown Burlington in Racine County.

The 12-mile western segment rolls through the glaciated landscape of southern Wisconsin, featuring woodlands, farm fields, creeks, and its namesake White River. Lake Geneva is located approximately 5 miles south of the trail just before passing the historic villages of Lyons and Springfield. This section runs through Walworth County and reaches its eastern end on the outskirts of Burlington where Spring Valley Road meets the Burlington Bypass in Walworth County.
