Back road bicycle tours crisscross the countryside, through woods, fields, hills and valleys, and along wetlands and waterways. Bikers can view pristine pre-historic ecosystems and wildlife sanctuaries resounding with sandhill cranes, wild turkeys, and songbirds. Foxes, deer and cranes gather to feed in the meadows and fields. The county’s nine bike tours range from 9 to 17.5 miles in length, covering a total distance of 140 miles. Restrooms are available at the starting point of most circuits.
