The Ozaukee - Sheboygan Interurban Trail runs for 40 miles between Milwaukee and Sheboygan along the converted Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company interurban passenger railway. The trail passes through, or very near, many towns, villages, and state parks. Making it a wonderful way to explore the area on two wheels.
