East River Trail - Brown County Wisconsin

The East River Trail is a pleasant winding trail following the

contours of the East River through the communities of Green

Bay, 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.  A southern extension of

about one mile into De Pere and Ledgeview was added in

2004.  Two trail extensions into Bellevue and Green Bay

have added another appropximately 1.7 miles.  A small

section of the most recent trail extension is routed through

Bellevue village sidewalks in order to bypass elevated

railroad tracks. The total length of the trail stands at about 8

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.
