Wisconsin Biking Federation   www.bfw.org
Their website designates road conditions for biking and also provides maps.  Town roads are not marked on these maps for biking, however, they can be very suitable for bike riding.  Town roads are less traveled by motor vehicles and provide a more scenic ride.

Hiking

Ice Age Trail
The national Ice Age Trail runs just west of Waupaca, with entry points on Hwy. 54, about five miles from the city limits, and in Hartman Creek State Park. In addition, the state park has hiking and horseback riding trails. Cross-country skiing trails are groomed in the winter.  Contact Hartman Creek at (715) 258-2372 for more information.

River Ridge Trail
Over the last several years, the City of Waupaca and volunteers have developed the River Ridge Trail, which will eventually encircle the entire city. Much of this trail is within Swan Park on the city’s northwest side, off Hwy. 49. Portions of this northern part of the trail are groomed in the winter. Maps are available from the Waupaca Area Chamber of Commerce.

Canoeing

Enjoy the Waupaca and Little Wolf through the following trips that have developed public access.  Contact the Waupaca County Parks (715) 258-6243 for changing stream conditions.
 
Riverview in Waupaca to Riverside Park in Waupaca to Peterson Park in Weyauwega (at the dam)  Riverview to Riverside is approxiamately 1 mile and is presently being cleared.  A quiet, easy 1 mile trip through town which is great for young families.  Riverside to Peterson is approximately a 3+ hour, 12 mile canoe trip that begins on the southeast side of the City of Waupaca and on the east side of Hwy 54.  From the parking lot walk about 100 feet with the canoe to access the river.  The river begins fairly shallow, and meanders for miles.  The river travels under Harrington and Reek Roads.  The view provides plenty of wildlife (birds, fish, turtles, deer, etc.).  After a couple hours of paddling, you will enter the west end of Weyauwega Lake.  Paddle through the lake to the east side.  Later in the summer this lake may be very shallow in spots and weedy.  Try to find the main flow for more ease in traveling.  CAUTION:  Stay away from the top of the dam to the front and right.  This dock and Park area is Peterson Park.  You can end the trip here or stop for lunch and pursue the next leg of the trip, which starts at the bottom of the dam.
 
Peterson Park in Weyauwega to Gills Landing (at the end of Cty Rd F)  This is a great trip for beginners that lasts about 3+ hours, 5.15 miles.  Paddling effort is minimal as the river slowly carries you along.  Start this trip at Peterson Park in Weyauwega (north out of town on Hwy 110).  The park is on your right as you leave town.  The scenery on this trip is incredible!  School fish abound in the river, and the kids have a blast seeing the variety of birds and wildlife.  No portaging is necessary once the trip begins.  About halfway through the trip, the river widens and slows down.  You will eventually come upon the Wolf River, at which point you will turn right and flow downstream with the river.  Take out at Gill's Landing, which is just a few minutes down the Wolf River on the right.  Be extremely cautious on the Wolf River because its current is fast at Gill's Landing even though it is a no wake area, there can be concerns for canoeists.
