About this trail
In Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, Wisconsin, Perkinstown Motorized Loop A (USFS trail 326A) covers 4.5 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. Underfoot, the trail is recorded 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. Treat this as a planning reference rather than a live conditions report, and verify any time-sensitive closure or order with the ranger district that manages Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest.

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.
