The Bugline Trail is a 16-mile trail that owes its existence to the quarries near Lannon. Trains once hauled Lannon Stone from the deep limestone pits which still operate today. A look down into the quarries from the trail is an impressive sight. Further along, perhaps you'll be able to spot homes built from the Lannon Stone.
This trail will take you from Appleton Ave (S.T.H 175) in Menomonee Falls to the west end of North Lake, in the Town of Merton. Dense woods close to the trail often hide the fact that much of your ride is through suburbs.
The Bugline Trail is managed by Waukesha County.

The trail is also complete from Spring Green Park through to Armory Park, and then runs in Sussex Preserve on the road. There are signs along the finished segments of the Trail.
