About this trail
In Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, Wisconsin, Perkinstown Motorized (USFS trail 326) covers 15.7 mi of National Forest System trail. Everything below comes straight from the US Forest Service National Forest System Trails dataset — length, surface, slope-derived difficulty, and the specific bike and e-bike designations on record — so you can check legality before you load up. The tread is mapped as imported compacted material. No grade band is recorded, so a steepness-based difficulty isn't available for this trail. Bike use is designated as allowed, typically Jan–Mar, May–Dec. 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.
