There are 33 miles of the Badger State Trail which are now complete. The northernmost seven miles are slated to be asphalt paved in 2010, connecting the Badger with the Capital City State Trail in Madison.  The completed portion runs from Purcell Road on the north, to the Jane Addams Recreation Trail in Illinois.  Three miles south of Belleville, is the 1200-foot Stewart Tunnel.  It's not the longest trail tunnel in Wisconsin, but is probably the darkest because the tunnel curves.  At Monticello, the Badger crosses the Sugar River State Trail which one can take to New Glarus or all the way to Brodhead.    The trail passes through valley farmland and past steep green hills.  Along the way you'll cross forty trestle bridges.  A daily or annual state trail pass is required for riders 16 and older.
