Your next hike in Sturgeon Bay could give you a new view on an old favorite. The Door County Parks Department and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reached an agreement earlier this month to manage the property lining either side of the Sturgeon Bay and Lake Michigan Ship Canal. There are trails on both sides of the canal for people to enjoy, one of which is near the Door County Land Trust’s Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal Nature Preserve. Door County Parks Director Tim Kazmierczak is already a fan of the overlook trail on the north side of the canal, adding that he is excited for more people to enjoy the property.

Kazmierczak says during the two weeks they have managed the property they have trimmed back some shrubs and cut the grass ahead of installing new signage in the near future.
