Shhh. Don't tell everyone but... one of Wisconsin's best sandy beaches is hidden at one of the lake-shore turn-outs in this excellent trail-park. See the photos (and tell only your best friends about this "hidden treasure").
The Rawley Point Trail winds east through town ending at Point Beach State Park. This limestone trail travels 5.5 miles into the heart of this Lake Michigan forest land through swales, marshes, conifer stands and big canopied hardwood forests. A well-marked connector guides cyclists to the 6.5 mile asphalt Mariner Trail that runs the lakeshore from Two Rivers to Manitowoc. The Trail is directly on Lake Michigan, with miles of panoramic vistas, glimpsing beaches, creeks, local art work, beautifully landscaped flower gardens and natural flora.
This beautifully maintained bike trail is an easy 5 1/2 mile ride between the laid-back towns of Manitowoc and Two Rivers. The lake views and creatively unique flower gardens make it an especially attractive destination for a relaxing outing.
Beautiful path to walk or bike on. Can't beat the water views or the flower gardens!! Enjoyable walk, several different parking areas to choose from. Choose your own distance!
Whether you are a casual rider, walker, skater, or runner, these are trails that should not be missed. Beautiful scenery, well kept trail, and many places to stop and take it all in along the way.
I love the Rawley Point trail. It is so peaceful in the woods and sometimes you see wildlife! Lots of benches so you can sit and think or read. Great for families and for campers. food and bathrooms at Point Beach State Park lodge.
Great trails, well groomed, and wonderful views along Lake Michigan. The trails are not challenging, but made it safe and comfortable to get around by bike or by walking.
While on a fishing expedition to Two Rivers, I took time away from Charter Fishing for salmon to venture out on the bike trail between Two Rivers and Manitowoc.....this has to be one of the best trails Wisconsin has to offer. The views are incredible, the pavement is in excellent condition and the multitude of well maintained gardens and rest areas are second to none. Although the trail is along a busy road the views of the Lake more then off-set this minor distraction. The artistic sculptures are worthy of the sites they occupy...incredible views combined with tasteful works of art!
I rented a bike at the Lighthouse Inn in Two Rivers and rode south on the Mariner trail to Manitowoc. It is a beautiful flat trail along the lake. Flat is probably a good thing for a Floridian. Any hills would have killed me. The view of the lake is very pleasant and the natural vegetation and many planted gardens added to the enjoyment. There is at least one public restroom along the route that was convenient and clean. On a different day, I walked about a mile south on the trail (starting at the Lighthouse Inn), found a beach access and walked back along the water. Feet got wet a little when I ran out of beach in a few places. Maps are available of the trail. I did not have the opportunity to go north on the Rawley Point Bike Trail.
This trail runs from the Manitowoc Marina, through Two Rivers up to Point Beach park. A well paved safe trail that runs along the shoreline of Lake Michigan. There has been effort to beautify the trail with plantings and statuary. There are no hills on this trail, so anyone can use it for walking or biking. If you allow your imagination to play, you might think your are biking along the coast of the Mediterranean. Lake Michigan is rarely boring.
