– All linear/rail trails are open to the public, including ATV trails.
– Cyclists of any skill level can cover some miles with Wisconsin's touring bicycle trails. Many are along former railroad corridors.

Freedom Park, Sunrise, Memorial Day 2025.

On this day, our thoughts turn to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice defending our freedoms,

We are surrounded by a landscape that speaks of enduring strength and the quiet beauty of home – a beauty that so many have fought to protect.

The Sun has now set on this day.

let us not just remember their names, but reflect on the profound gift they gave us: the peace and liberty we often take for granted.

Let us honor their memory by living lives worthy of their sacrifice, by cherishing our community, and by always striving for a more just and peaceful world.
