Initiative continues to blaze future trails through Door County
Stakeholders from federal, state, and local agencies came together this month to explore how you will be able to venture through Door County without having to rely on a car. Representatives from the National Park Service, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and Wisconsin Department of Transportation met with residents and leaders to discuss the Door County Trails Initiative, which would develop a network of trails stretching from Frank Murphy Park in Egg Harbor to Sister Bay. Officials discussed the project, funding strategies, and potential construction challenges. Many discussions centered around portions of the trail in Egg Harbor and Fish Creek. Residents and visitors could also interact with National Park Service officials to give feedback on the project. Trails Initiative Volunteer Susan Stauber called the visit a significant step forward in developing a comprehensive multi-use trail network connecting key areas in Door County. “Our communities and stakeholders continue to work together to form a united trails initiative,” Stauber said. The different agencies and local governments will continue to work together to develop the trail network, and that opportunities for community engagement will pop up along the way.
