How to pedal through Kenosha Area offers trails with plenty to see and do
The arrival of autumn is the perfect time to bring out those bicycles, round up the family and head for a ride on one of the bike trails in the Kenosha area. At this time of year the weather is pleasant and riders can still enjoy some of the outdoor activities easily reached along the trail. Biking in early fall gives riders a chance to really focus on the changes of the seasons as the leaves begin to turn from shades of green to soft yellows and finally to the vibrant oranges and reds of late fall. The weather as the season begins to cool down is more conducive for a comfortable bike ride than during the hot days of the height of summer. Bicycle riding is easy and safe in and around Kenosha with two major bike trails traveling through the area. It is possible to bike from Milwaukee to Chicago using the interconnected bike trails. The local trails, the Kenosha County Bike Trail and the City of Kenosha Pike Bike Trail are easily accessed throughout the city.
the Pike Trail when traveling through the City of Kenosha. The Northern branch of the Kenosha County Trail can be accessed at 35th Street and 28th Avenue and travels north as far as the Kenosha County/Racine County line. At that junction it meets the North Shore Trail and continues into the City of Racine. The south branch of the Kenosha County Bike trail can be accessed at 89th Street and 30th Avenue on the south end of Kenosha near Pleasant Prairie. The route continues south through a wooded area, giving riders a canopy of leaves providing shade for a large section of the trail before it passes through a residential area on the 14 miles of pathway. The trail travels along the old railroad corridor making a flat path that is great for family rides. The trail ends at Russell Road where it meets the Robert McClory Bike Trail and continues into Illinois. The very ambitious could continue on to Chicago.

through the City of Kenosha. The route is a scenic one, traveling along the lakeshore and passing beaches, sand dunes, playgrounds, Kemper Center, and Simons Island. It offers many places to stop and enjoy the scenery. Some of the sections of
trail require travel on the streets, but most have a dedicated bike lane. Depending on speed and the number of times riders stop to enjoy the scenery – or perhaps enjoy some lunch or a snack – the entire Pike trail can be ridden in one to three hours.
Parking lots specifically for the trails are not available, but parking on streets is available in most areas. The Kenosha Area Transit buses have racks to carry bicycles for those who travel by public transportation to the bike trails.
Tips for the trip Those traveling with children should remember their stamina will not be as great as an adult’s. Also, because of their smaller body mass, they will dehydrate faster
