Green Bay, WI

Fox River Trail

The Fox River Trail is among the signature running spots in Green Bay. A multi-use path runs along the Fox River for nearly 26 miles to Greenleaf. The first 11 miles are paved. We particularly love the first 6 miles between Green Bay and De Pere, as the trail is right along the river and features wonderful water views. There are good map kiosks along the way.

One can start right in Green Bay at Main St. and head south. The path follows the eastern bank of the river, passing through several parks. At De Pere (6-mile mark), the trail turns inland and gets more remote.

Add-Ons: At the Green Bay end, add an 0.5 mile section of the East River Trail headed north. You can also run for 0.5 miles on the west side of the river in Green Bay. Best to use the Walnut St. Bridge to cross.
