Egg Harbor officials announced a significant milestone for its trails initiative on Monday as it hopes it connects you with Northern Door from the village’s center.

Door County Medical Center has joined the effort as a supporting project partner. The initiative aims to build four off-road, multi-use trails totaling about 11 miles that connect the village with surrounding municipalities and Gibraltar Area Schools. The project already has support from the Wisconsin Bike Federation and the National Park Service’s Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance program, and it would be funded through a combination of grants and private donations.

“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with the Village of Egg Harbor to implement a trail system, as it aligns perfectly with Door County Medical Center's vision of promoting a healthy community by providing accessible and enjoyable outdoor spaces for recreational activities and wellness, “ said Door County Medical Center Chief Information Officer Erick Schrier. “Together, we aim to inspire and encourage the community to embrace an active lifestyle through the development of a vibrant trail system.”

After hosting a community survey last month, the Village of Egg Harbor is hosting two engagement sessions on December 12th at the Kress Pavilion from 10 a.m. to noon and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The presentations on the draft trails network will take place at 10:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., respectively.
