Prairie Heritage Bike Trail Guide
The Prairie Heritage Trail is a 10-mile section of County Highway JG in western Dane County, Wisconsin. It begins in the Village of Mt Horeb and proceeds southward through the towns of Blue Mounds, Perry, and Primrose.
The Prairie Heritage Trail was originally sponsored in 1975 by the Dane County Bicentennial Commission. In that year, the guide received an environmental quality award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The project to update the guide was sponsored by the Dane County Environmental Council and Dane County Highway and Transportation Department.
