SUPPORT THE Expansion and Upgrade of Pavement CampaigN

The Fox River State Recreational Trail is a premier recreation and transportation trail located in Brown County. It links 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 condition of the trail.

Currently the 22-year-old trail sees heavy use in the urban area. Our plans are to extend 3.4 miles of pavement to the Greenleaf trailhead, repave 10.5 miles of deteriorating pavement in the urban area, replace aging culvers, add a rural trailhead/ parking lot at Midway Road and create an endowment fund. These enhancements will ensure safety for our current users, entice new users, and promote business and tourism from downtown Green Bay all the way to Greenleaf and into the Fox River Valley.

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!
