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.
