The trail was my first "marathon training" route. Starting from downtown Green Bay, it takes you south with many great views of the river in the first miles. If you haven't been to Green Bay in years, give it a look. For years, Green Bay seemed to turn its back on the river, it was after all merely the means by which industrial chemicals were washed to the magical place called "away".
But now the Fox is back, at least visually. It is a reminder that natural areas can be reclaimed and sustained in the middle of industrial and commercial development.
This is a real "people trail", lots of bikers, skaters, baby strollers, and runners. If the communities in the area South of Green Bay ever connect this trail with the contoured, park-focused East River trail, which roughly runs parallel to it, Green Bay will have a wonderful scenic, natural loop that would be an asset to residents and a draw for "Green" tourism.
