The Mountain Bay Trail is an 83 mile trail from Rib Mountain to Green Bay. The Shawano County portion of the trail is 53 miles from Eland to Pulaski.

The WIOUWASH Trail is presently 20.9 miles long from Birnamwood to a mile and a half south of Split Rock, with access to Marion via County Road SS and S. The name, WIOUWASH, is derived from the first two letters of the counties through which it passes. WInnebago, OUtagamie, WAupaca, and SHawano.

Shawano County trail usage for the summer months is for biking, hiking, wheelchair, and horseback riding. In winter, trails are used by snowmobilers and all-terrain vehicles. Hikers/walkers do not need to purchase a pass for admittance on the trail. Snowmobilers do not need to purchase a pass either, their fee is included in their snowmobile registration. One exception is Non Resident Snowmobilers. A Non Resident Snowmobiler must purchase a $13.00 pass in order to go on any of the designated State trails. A Non Resident refers to Non Residents of the State of Wisconsin. These passes are available at all designated DNR agents. Anyone that sells hunting and fishing licenses has the capability of issuing a Non Resident Snowmobile Pass.
