When getting off and on the kayak launch at Carmody Park, you could soon be taking a concrete path. One of the Door County Parks improvement ideas for 2022 was announced, as this coming spring, the quarry walkway that goes over the grass and connects the kayak launch to the parking lot is expected to be replaced with cement. The current quarry walkway leads to a wooden path which then connects to the ramp and eventually the launch. 

The project will approve accessibility to the ramp, and The Friends of the Door County Parks System has shown excitement. Member Jay Renstrom says they’ll be looking forward to next spring to see if they can help out, especially as more details and questions on feasibility are answered.

Carmody Park is expected to see more visitor traffic next year, especially with the exposure to the ADA-accessible kayak launch.
