2.1 miles of paved trail toward Horicon Marsh - protecting wetlands and honoring Wisconsin's fallen.
Phase 1 of the Gold Star Memorial Trail runs 2.1 miles from Theiler Park toward the Horicon Marsh State Visitor and Education Center - a 10-foot-wide paved multi-use route through some of Wisconsin's most sensitive wetland landscape. Lynch delivered the preliminary design.
Boardwalks and careful alignment decisions minimized wetland impacts, retaining walls and accessible crossings keep the route ADA-compliant, and gold star pavement markings carry the trail's purpose in its surface: a tribute to Wisconsin service members who gave everything.
