Door County Green Fund unveils multi-modal trails report

The routes you may ride, glide, walk, run, or hike now and in the future have been mapped. The Door County Community Foundation and its Door County Green Fund unveiled its Multi-Modal Trails Task Force Report on Friday, cataloging the trails that could connect the entire county together. The project was the dream of Sister Bay gallery owner Pamela Wattenmaker, who imagined a trail system connecting all of Door County’s communities. Two years after she approached the Door County Community Foundation with the idea, the report showcases the existing trails and ones planned for in the future. It meant collecting information on plans being developed in places like the Village of Egg Harbor, the Town of Gibraltar, Peninsula State Park, the Village of Ephraim, and the Village of Sister Bay in addition to the 2014 Door County Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Recreational Facilities Plan. Rather than make recommendations on what should be done, Door County Community Foundation President and CEO Brey Bicoy says the goal of the report is to “foster greater conversation and collaboration between those entities that control public lands on the peninsula,” recognizing that it will take a group effort to make the dream of the reality. The report includes 13 maps, including one comprehensive view of the county. You can read the entire report by clicking on this link.
