Regional Trails

The Ahnapee State Trail is a 48-mile long unpaved pathway that is located on the Door Peninsula to the east of Green Bay in Eastern Wisconsin. The trail connects the communities of Sturgeon Bay, Algona, Luxemburg and Kewaunee. A portion of the trail passes through the natural areas along the Ahnapee River and another section follows along the Kewaunee River. The route takes trail users through thick forests, across wetlands teaming with wild birds and other wildlife. Trail users will pass open farmland and prairie land and evergreen glades.

For the most part, the trail was constructed along an abandoned railroad right-of-way. There are few road crossings and gentle grades.

Conditions

The Ahnapee State Trail is unpaved with a crushed limestone surface.The trail is open for non-motorized uses in seasons without snow. The trail does allow snowmobiles during the snowy months.
