Yes, you can cross the river over Hwy 10 bridge. There is a sidewalk on the South side of the bridge that they use for snowmobile trail. Not groomed and may not be able to pass if you meet someone, just wait. But it works, never really like trusting the river especially in moderate warm winters. No other way to cross the Chippewa River to the South. Yes you would have to go back to the North between Durand and Dunnville on Corridor 35 to cross river otherwise. One of my favorite places to ride in Wisconsin, when they get enough snow. Riding in Pepin & Buffalo counties is as close as you can get to out west without leaving the state. Also Pierce & Dunn are fun also. Hope this helps, have fun.

If it is safe, and they are crossing the river on the ice, it will be just on the south side of the bridge in Durand from our previous experience. Always check with the locals who know if it is safe. We absolutely love this area!
I’d rather not play the ‘If’ game, I have no problem roughing it across a bridge. I’ll be sure to update on Sunday when we head back to New Richmond on day 4 of the journey.
To update, the bridge crossing was perfect, but yeah, it is one lane, make sure no one is coming before you enter the bridge. There were two sets of tracks to the south of the bridge on the river, but they went only 50 or so feet from a huge open water section!!
That's not for me one bit! Bridge it!
