The Fox River State Recreational Trail is a premier recreation and transportation trail located in Brown County. It is a linear parkway linking cities and villages along the Fox River with urban amenities, rural vistas, and open farmland. Upgrades to the trail will address the needs of our growing population and the condition of the trail.
Currently the 23-year-old four season trail is one of the most popular trails in Wisconsin. The campaign includes replacement of aging culverts, repaving 10.5 miles of deteriorating pavement in the northern urban area, extending 3.4 miles of pavement to the Greenleaf trailhead, the addition of a rural parking lot/trailhead at Midway Road and creating a fund for additional improvements and enhancements. These enhancements will ensure the safety of current users, entice new users, provide wellness opportunities, and promote business and tourism all the way from Green Bay to Greenleaf and into the Fox River Valley.
September 2025 Updates:
- Porlier to Heritage Road resurfacing is complete.
- Culvert repair/replacement and trail base improvements are ongoing in 2025.
- Repaving priority sections of the trail between Heritage Road and Lasee Road is scheduled for 2026.
- Paving from Lasee Road to Greenleaf Trailhead is planned for summer 2026 or 2027.
We hope that you will help support the Friends of the Fox River Trail fundraising efforts to assure that this premier recreational and transportation trail is maintained for generations to come!
