The Interurban Trail through Ozaukee County is the perfect local option for walking, biking, or even rollerblading. While it may not qualify as a “destination trail,” it offers a mix of scenery, community charm, and—best of all—fantastic food stops.

This section comes with frequent road crossings and a variety of trail conditions, but the payoff is worth it:

• Hollander’s Streusel French Toast – fuel that makes pedaling feel optional.
• Mequon Public Market – a wide selection to fit every craving.
• The Stilt House or Anvil Pub in Cedarburg – ideal lunch breaks with plenty of character.

👉 Trail Tip: Don’t rush through this section—your taste buds will thank you.

The trail through Grafton offers even more great food choices, though some of the best options are just a block or two off the path. Afterward, crossing the trestle bridge over the crystal-clear Milwaukee River feels like the true gateway to quieter miles ahead.

From here, the landscape shifts to farm fields and golf courses, with fewer road crossings and a fresh section of pavement (repaved in summer 2025). You’ll roll easily into Port Washington, where the real highlights await:

• Coal Dock Park & Upper Lake Park – not technically on the trail, but absolutely worth the detour for stunning views of Lake Michigan.
• The Daily Baking Company – home of chocolate croissants that might just be worth the ride alone.
• Dockside Deli – grab an early breakfast by the marina and watch the harbor wake up.

👉 Best Moment: Coffee and a croissant while listening to the marina quietly come alive.

Beyond Port Washington, the trail’s continuity gets tricky. With one of the nation’s largest data centers under construction right next to the trail, this stretch will be disrupted for a year or two. The good news? The pavement here badly needed replacing, so think of it as a forced break until the upgrades catch up.

The Interurban Trail is best enjoyed as a local ride for exercise, commuting, and eating your way through Ozaukee County. It may not be a long-haul destination trail just yet, but with future upgrades in the works, it’s steadily moving in that direction.
