Gibraltar town officials are getting excited about the prospect of you exploring Fish Creek and the surrounding communities using something other than your car. Last week, Destination Door County announced that the Town of Gibraltar would receive a $75,000 grant to construct a new trail connecting the recently acquired upper Bluff parkland to established trails in Fish Creek. That parkland was partially the result of another $100,000 grant last year from Destination Door County that got the town to almost the halfway point of its $1.5 million offer to purchase the Redmann property so it can expand Fish Creek Park and serve as an extension of the Bayshore Connectivity Trail. Recently, the town worked with UW-Platteville students to design a portion of the trails that would connect the park to Fish Creek and other surrounding communities. Town Administrator Travis Thyssen says the support the trails network has received has been great.

The town will host the UW-Platteville students and Door County Trail team members for a special informational meeting on December 4th from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Fish Creek branch of the Door County Library.
