There are still parts of trails in Kewaunee County where you will have to find a different path almost a month after a storm came through the area. On August 27th, winds as high as 50 miles per hour on the ground and close to 100 miles per hour a mile up in the air caused trees to get uprooted and widespread power outages in the Kewaunee area. Kewaunee County Promotions and Recreation Department Director Dave Myers says they cleaned up over 100 downed trees from the Ahnapee Trail and dozens more at Bruemmer Park and Ryan Park. That required nearly a week-and-a-half of time dedicated solely to cleaning up trees, leaving Myers thankful the damage was contained to just one community instead of being widespread throughout the county. Thanks to a dedicated team and good weather, Myers says storm cleanup is about over.
As of today, only a small portion of the single-track trails in Ryan Park, usually reserved for mountain biking, have storm-related blockages. Myers expects all of the storm cleanup to be finished in the coming days.
