THE OZAUKEE
INTERURBAN TRAIL
EXTEND YOUR ADVENTURE
To the north of the Oak
Leaf Trail is a 30-mile
paved trail that spans
the length of Ozaukee County.
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 route connects
historic downtowns with
natural landscapes. The route is
based on the Interurban railway
that linked Milwaukee and
surrounding communities from
1905 to 1951. During the 1920s
and '30s, the line transported
African-American blues
musicians to the recording
studios in Grafton for the
Paramount Records label.
