The Mountain Bay State Trail is a good opportunity for a longer distance off-road run near Green Bay. It’s one of the longest rail trails in Wisconsin, running for 83 miles from Howard Memorial Park in the northwest part of Green Bay to Weston, just east of Wasau. The surface is crushed stone and is a fairly flat, easy surface. Much of the trail passes through open farmland. We’ve attached the full route map, and mapped the 35 miles between Howard and Shawano. There’s a brief road section there (well-marked), and the trail picks up again and is seamless to Weston. This information page has good descriptions of the specific sections.

Other Routes in Green Bay, WI
Among the signature runs in Green Bay. A multi-use path follows the Fox River from Green Bay south for up to 26 miles. We prefer the six miles between Green Bay and De Pere. Lovely water views and several small parks along the way.
Paved multi-use path follows the East River for 8.8 miles through the communities of Green Bay, Bellevue, Allouez, DePere and Ledgeview. Mainly wooded, with some water views. Running track at northern terminus.
A paved, mainly wooded linear park path following Baird Creek. It's less of a water-side trail than the Fox River Trail or the East River Trail. The main path is 3.3 miles, and there are several offshoot trails that are more for trail running.
Just south of downtown, there's lovely running in the historic Astor Park & Allouez neighborhoods, with tree-shaded streets, sidewalks, and historic homes. Can add with river paths.
In the eastern part of Green Bay, stitch together a terrific run combining the paths of the UWGB campus, the Shorewood Cross Country Course, and six miles of trails at the Coflin Arborerum.
Another in a series of longer multi-use trails in the Green Bay area. The gravel rails-to-trails multi-use path goes for 13 miles west to Seymour. It's a mainly wooded corridor, passing by farms. Continues as the Newton Blackmour State Trail west of Seymour.
Good options for trail running just north of Green Bay. Barkhausen has 9 miles of trails around forest, marshland, & wetlands. Reforestation Camp has 7 miles of trails that are more rugged. NOTE: used for XC skiing in winter.
A long-distance mutli-use path, 48 miles overall in Luxemburg, Kewaunee, Algoma, and Sturgeon Bay. Luxemburg is closest access to Green Bay. Evergreen glades, farmland, prairies and wooded sections.
