The trail follows the former corridor of the Ahnapee and Western Railway, which once served as an industrial link between Door, Brown, and Kewaunee Counties. The steam- and diesel-powered locomotives hauled dairy goods, cherry crops, and lumber until the early 1970s.

  • States: Wisconsin

The Ahnapee State Trail in northeast Wisconsin provides a scenic 45-mile journey between Sturgeon Bay and Kewaunee, featuring a tour of water bodies along the Door Peninsula. It also overlaps two sections of the Ice Age Trail (totaling about 17 miles): from Kewaunee to just shy of Luxemburg, and from Algoma on the shores of Lake Michigan to Sturgeon Bay. The Ice Age Trail is a 1,200-mile hiking route across the state and a National Scenic Trail.

Clear and straightforward

I hiked the 17-mile portions that overlap with the Ice Age National Scenic Trail in early September 2024. I think those are the sections that were designated as an NRT? Could be wrong. Anyway, the trail is wide, flat, and lined with vegetation and sometimes trees. Well maintained, easy to follow.
