The beautiful, hard-surfaced recreational 7-mile trail running along Lake Michigan connects the cities of Manitowoc and Two Rivers, Wisconsin. Many take time to walk, bike, in-line skate, or run while enjoying the cool lake breeze and the beautiful shoreline scenery. A group called Friends of the Mariners Trail (F.O.M.T.) help to keep the trail maintained. There is no fee to use this trail. Click here for a map of the trail. The trail was dedicated June 1, 2002.
The Manitowoc Garden Club has also been involved with the Mariners Trail and has generously donated a human sundial to the trail in 2014 and a kaleidoscope garden in 2015.
Groups of 50 or more should complete the Mariners Trail Special Use Permit (if the event takes place exclusively on the trail) or a Special Event Application, if the event also takes place on city streets or sidewalks. Visit the Special Events page for more information.
