You can thank construction for taking you to different parts of Potawatomi State Park if you are hiking on the Ice Age Trail in Sturgeon Bay. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources announced last week that construction near the shuttered observation tower will begin September 3rd and last into December. The trails to the tower and N. Norway Road from the Old Ski Hill Overlook to Shoreline Road will be closed due to the construction. This will force Ice Age Trail users onto more inland trails from the Old Ski Hill Overlook before they rejoin the original route. The vault toilet near the tower will remain open for visitors, as will N. Norway Road from the pull-off east of the tower to Shoreline Road, but only to pedestrians.
