Some changes could be made to a portion of the Ahnapee Trail in Kewaunee County to improve the user experience.

The Friends of the Ahnapee Trail and the county are discussing installing a rest area along the trail’s route in Algoma that would feature a covered shelter, benches, and picnic tables. Currently, the trailhead in Algoma has some signage and a parking lot but not much else for trail users. With over 30 miles of the Ahnapee Trail located within its borders, Kewaunee County Promotions and Recreation Director Dave Myers says investments like these are essential as the trail becomes even more popular.

Last year, an Eagle Scout project led to the installation of bike repair stations to select parts of the trail. Myers says approximately six of those are scattered along the trail for people to use in cases of emergency.
