About this trail
In Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, Wisconsin, Clam Lake Connector (USFS trail 214C) covers 7.1 mi of National Forest System trail. The figures here are pulled from the official US Forest Service trail data for Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, covering the trail's mileage, tread, grade band, and the bike and e-bike uses the agency lists as designated. USFS records list its surface as native material. No grade band is recorded, so a steepness-based difficulty isn't available for this trail. Mountain bikes are allowed, with a Jan–Mar, May–Dec season in the data. On the electric side, Class 1, Class 2, Class 3 e-bikes are also designated (Jan–Mar, May–Dec) — Class 1 being pedal-assist only, Classes 2 and 3 adding a throttle and higher assisted speed. The route is mapped as USFS Trail Class 3 on the agency's 1-to-5 development scale, where 1 is the most primitive, minimally maintained tread and 5 is the most developed. Because conditions, closures, and local orders change between data refreshes, confirm the current status with the managing ranger district before you ride.

How we read this data
Grade-based difficulty above is the USFS grade (route steepness), not a technical mountain-bike rating — a gentle-grade trail can still be rocky or technical, and vice versa. Bike and e-bike status come verbatim from the USFS managed-use fields for this trail; we never infer access we can't cite. See our methodology for how the dataset is built and what each field means.
