As you’re traveling along the Lake Michigan Circle Tour between Manitowoc and Two Rivers in Northeast Wisconsin, be sure to pull into one of the roadside parks and stretch your legs on the Mariners Trail.
The Mariners Trail bike and foot path is a wonderful seven mile trail running along the shore of beautiful Lake Michigan, connecting the cities of Manitowoc and Two Rivers in Wisconsin. This 10-year old trail features telescopes, sculptures, picnic areas, gardens, and restroom facilities.

Badger carferry or a freighter in the distance.
