Friends of the Fox River Trail

Over 3 million visitors and 23 years of fun!

Message from Matt Kriese, Brown County Parks Director:

We want everyone to enjoy the trail and have a safe experience. At road intersections from the Town of Rockland and south, we are rebuilding the gates and will plan to have closed gates. The closed gates will provide a layer of advance notification for users when approaching intersections. Seeing as this is a change from past years, please be observant while using the trail and use caution going around these gates.

This is being done to improve safety at these intersections. There has been reports of abuse by motorized UTV’s and multiple complaints from bikers and other users not stopping at the required stop signs located at each intersection.

This summer (April-September) a fulltime Park Ranger will be stationed on the trails. Enforcement levels will be increased, and Violation Notices will be issued for anyone stopped without a valid Trail Permit. If you receive a Violation Notice you will have 5 days to pay the $10 penalty AND purchase an ANNUAL permit. If payment is not received after one warning, citations may be issued. Remember, the trail is not tax levy funded and user fees are imperative for BC Parks to continue maintenance on these trails.

Friends for the Fox River Trail (FFRT) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to helping the Brown County Parks Department with the maintenance and upkeep of the Fox River State Recreational Trail in Brown County. Over the past 16 years, the FFRT have helped to raise money to pave additional mileage, to build bathrooms, picnic areas and rest stops. Upcoming projects include working with the Village of Allouez on installing a walking trail and picnic area next to the river in Sunset Park. Besides fundraising, the FFRT hosts work days to help remove invasive species and clean up the areas around the trail.
