Cyclists and Waukesha County officials will celebrate National Trails Day on June 1 by officially opening the new mountain bike trails in Minooka Park, the first in the county?s park system.
Volunteers from the Waukesha Bicycle Alliance invested more than 460 hours to design and develop the mountain bike trail, giving them a ride option close to home. The initial 1.5-mile loop will open on June 1, a second loop will open in the fall and the full system spanning five miles will open in Spring.
?My philosophy is I want trails I can ride to,? said Ron Stawicki, president of the WBA. ?The Kettles are great and the Tosa Trails and The Rock Sports Complex are great, but there?s still a 20-minute drive. It?s nice to have trails close to home.?
Riders will access the Minooka Park trails near picnic shelter #5, roughly at 1927 E. Sunset Dr., in Waukesha.
Waukesha County Executive Dan Vrakas will lead the ribbon-cutting ceremony, at 9 a.m. on the June 1.
?Part of the Waukesha County Park System mission is to provide our citizens with many different recreation opportunities and activities,? Vrakas said. ?The mountain bike trails will meet a community and regional need and promote bicycling and outdoor activities in the park.?
Minooka Park is a popular recreation destination for hikers in summer and cross-country skiers in winter. The mountain bike trails will be separate from those paths.
