Corky Neu Memorial Bicycle Trail

Kettle Moraine State Forest – Pike Lake Unit




Corky was born with a serving heart.  He worked as Camp Host at Pike Lake and volunteered many hours to ensure forest visitors had a quality visit.



The Neu family would like to use the Corky Neu Memorial to fund the construction of a 1 mile bicycle trail that would run from the campground to the beach.  Many families who camp have requested a trail that would provide safe access to the beach.  The trail could also be used for hikers.



The trail will be constructed with 2 inches of crushed limestone on a four inch aggregate base, 1 mile in length.  Total cost of the project of $35,000 based on a path ten feet wide. 
  
  







         About 850 people came out for fresh air, good cheer and slippery hiking for the 2019 Candlelight Ski/Hike/Snowshoe.   We will all hope for better weather next year! 







  

     Check out the Friends of Pike Lake merchandise at the Pike Lake DNR station . . .  T-shirts, sweatshirts, caps, walking sticks and much more.
         Also, how about the gift that gives all year round: a Wisconsin State Parks and Forests sticker for those you know who love the outdoors or could use a nudge to get out more.

Great gift ideas!
