The East River Trail is a pleasant winding trail following the
contours of the East River through the communities of
Bellevue, Allouez, De Pere and Ledgview. The initial
segment of the trail from Green Isle Park in Allouez to
LeBrun St. in De Pere (approximately 2 miles) was
developed in 1990 with the generous financial support of
local businessman, Dick Resch. Trail extensions to the
north into Bellevue of about 2 miles have since been added.
A southern extension of about one mile into De Pere and
Ledgeview was added in 2004. The total length of the trail
is now 6.28 miles.
The trail is narrow and winding as it closely follows the
contour of the East River so is more suited to leisurely
paced activities. Biking, in-line skating and walking/running
are allowed. Dogs are not allowed on the trail within
Bellevue and Ledgeview but are allowed in the Allouez and
De Pere sections. There are at least 3 sizable parks on
the trail with public restrooms. A good place to park and
access the trail is at Green Isle Park in Allouez.
