Tour de Marsh
June 2, 2012 – June 1, 2013
10 am – 2 pm
Horicon Marsh
Contact: Leslie Hershberger , Email
Get your friends and family together and ride the Tour De Marsh!Click for map: Tour-de-Marsh-Trail
The idea behind “Tour De Marsh” is to provide the visitor a “bird’s eye view” of Horicon Marsh. New routes along Dike Rd. and Old Rt. 49 open two major nature areas allowing the visitor into the heart of refuge areas which allows wonderful views of nature. Bill Ehlenbeck, Manager of Dodge County Parks notes that one of the highlights of this bike route is the ability to cross right through the belly of the marsh on Dike Road. Not only does it give a unique view of the marsh, but it now provides the casual bike rider or family the ability to more easily accomplish a smaller loop ride rather than having to circle the entire marsh.”
