More than a
century since railroad bells rang and train whistles blown for the first time,
quiet has returned to the Kewaunee and Door County countryside. A "rails to
trails" conversion has removed the tracks. During spring, summer, and fall
hikers, bikers, horseback riders, share the trail. In winter, cross country
skiers and snowmobilers whisk across its frosty surface. The Ahnapee State Trail spans about 44 miles between Kewaunee, Luxemburg, Casco, Algoma and Sturgeon Bay. The 8 to 10 foot trail has a firm limestone surface for hiking, trail bikes and horseback riding. During the winter the trail is used primarily by snowmobilers - though cross-country skiing is also permitted - The trail interconnects with numerous miles of snowmobile trails in Kewaunee and Door County. |

General Etiquette/Rules for all Trail Users 1. Pets must be kept on leashes and kept under control. 2. Protect our environment. Stay on the trail. Do not cut switchbacks or use shortcuts. 2. Stay to the right and pass on the left. Always look before changing positions on the trail. 3. Carry out all litter, including your pet’s waste. 4. When encountering a horse, speak in a calm, pleasant tone so the horse hears a human voice. Do not hide. 5. The rider knows the horse the best. Expect the rider to advise you, not as a lack of courtesy, but rather with knowledge of the horse’s temperament. 6. All horse waste must be moved off the trail surface. 6. Do not approach, scare, harass, or feed wildlife or livestock. 7. Respect private property and the privacy of people living along the trail. 8. Leave flowers and plants for others to enjoy.
