About Map: Boreas Railroad - Moose Club Way To Northwoods Club Road ....
Lately there has been discussion of abandonment of the Tahawus Rail Line along the Boreas River that was constructed illegally during World War II, removing the rail and turning it into a multi-use trail for biking and hiking in summer and snowmobiles in winter. While you can walk it now, it's technically still an active rail line, and you have to step over ties and rails and probably is trespassing.
The trail would be a nice one, as over the 5 miles between Northwood Club Road and Moose Club Way is only about a 150 foot elevation gain, so it's a very gentle hike into remote wilderness, on a route that could be a nice leisurely hike or bicycle ride into very remote country.
