This 25-mile, county-operated trail extends from the historic city of West Bend into the scenic countryside of eastern Wisconsin past the glacial landscape of the Kettle Moraine State Forest. Built on a former railroad corridor, the history of the trail is remembered in the title "Eisenbahn," a German word for railroad.
The trail passes through the communities of West Bend, Kewaskum and Campbellsport, ending in Eden at the village park. Washington and Fond du Lac counties maintain and manage the Eisenbahn State Trail.
The Northern Unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest provides many additional recreation opportunities. Camping, hiking, hunting and fishing, mountain biking, horseback riding, snowmobiling and cross-country ski trails can all be found within the 30,000-acre forest.
