T
he Ozau-
kee Interur-
ban Trail is
a 30-mile
paved trail that
spans the length of
Ozaukee County
and is designed
for biking, in-line
skating, walking and
running.
The trail route
connects historic
downtowns with
natural landscapes.
The route is based
on the Interurban
railway that linked
Milwaukee and
surrounding com
-
munities from 1905
to 1951.
During the 1920s
and '30s, the line
transported Afri
-
can-American blues
musicians to the
recording studios
in Grafton for the
Paramount Records
label.
On the south end,
the trail ends at the
start of the Brown
Deer Recreational
Trail, where riders
can tap into the Oak
Leaf Trail.
The trail features
118 miles of multiple
loops through all
the major parkways
and parks in the
system. Loops
are composed of
off-road paved trails,
park drives, and
municipal streets
where necessary to
ensure continuity. A
great starting point
is at the Milwaukee
Art Museum, then
traveling either
north or south on
the trail from there.
