I have ridden in St. Croix and the south side of the loop can get very rocky.  The Gandy Dancer trail also connects St. Croix to Nemadji.  So if you want a full day of riding I would suggest trying that out.  I have never made it up that far but I have wanted to try.  The Gandy Dancer also goes into the Cheese state.  The Chengwatana is only good enough for about an hours worth of ride.  The road to the trails is more fun than the trails themself.

Is st. croix the one w/ the big honkin bridge? I'm thinkin we're going to stay away from Wisc as I don't think any of us have ORV stickers for Wisc riding.

St. Croix has a bridge that leads up a hill that has been covered with concrete forms to prevent erosion.  It had rained alot when I was there and there were two spots on the trail by the western most parking that were underwater up to the seat.  I could feel the raptor floating sideways as I went through it.  In the parking lot we meet some people on dirt bikes including a kid on a 90.  We told them it was underwater but they did not seem very concerned.  I wish I could have seen the little kid go for it.
