The Sheboygan Urban Rec Trail provides a west-east link between the Old Plank Road Trail and Sheboygan's Harbor Centre and lakefront. It traverses parks and green spaces, winds through historic residential and commercial districts, and provides access to Sheboygan's central business district as well as numerous scenic, historical, cultural and recreational sites. Designated as a bicycle trail, it is also suitable for walkers and in-line skaters.

The 3.75 mile long trail extends from the west side of Sheboygan, beginning at the eastern trailhead of the popular multi-use Old Plank Road Trail, to Lake Michigan. (The Old Plank Road Trailhead and parking lot are located at the west end of Erie Ave. near Highway i-43.) The bikeway follows clearly marked routes which incorporate bike paths, common usage trails, bike lanes and wide curb lanes.

The trail completes a 20-mile long regional bike trail which connects the Kettle Moraine State Forest and the Ice Age Trail, and the communities of Greenbush, Plymouth, Sheboygan Falls and Kohler with Sheboygan and the Sheboygan lakefront.
