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.
