One of the most gorgeous trails along Lake Michigan treats bicyclists to some incredible sights – sweeping sand dunes, expansive lake vistas, tranquil forests, and a historic lighthouse that’s practically begging to be photographed. Sound like a good ride? It is – here’s what you need to know to explore the Rawley Point Recreational Trail.

The trail follows the lakeshore north of Two Rivers and goes on for about 6 miles. It’s a relatively easy ride, even for casual bikers.

Because the trail skirts the lake, it usually stays cool and comfortable, even on hot summer days. You may want to ride a bike with larger tires, though, as the trail can get soft in spots after it rains.

Much of the trail is shaded as it passes through the Point Beach State Forest, a 3,000-acre wooded park.

The northern end of the trail passes near the Rawley Point Lighthouse. It stands 111 feet tall and is the tallest lighthouse on the lake’s Wisconsin shore. The light went into service in 1874 and it’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
