Fox River State Trail

Highlights

Fox River is a practical corridor ride with urban-to-rural flexibility—good for riders who want mileage with clear access options.

Riding

Under saddle, the landscape starts doing exactly what riders hope it will do. Horseback riding is available on a designated section of this 25-mile corridor, with riders commonly using the southern horse-friendly trail segment. The footing, scenery, and overall cadence differ by property, of course, but this one consistently rewards riders who want a day that feels immersive, scenic, and worth the drive.

Rideable terrain

25 miles

Trailer parking

Depending on the section you choose, riders stage from community access in Green Bay or from more rural access points farther south where trailer turning and unloading are easier.

Horse regulations

Use only the sections designated for horseback riding and follow posted shared-use rules. Riders 16 and older need a state trail pass on horse-authorized portions of the corridor.

Getting here

One of the strongest things about this destination is how naturally the day begins. Depending on the section you choose, riders stage from community access in Green Bay or from more rural access points farther south where trailer turning and unloading are easier. It is the sort of setup that helps both seasoned haulers and less frequent trailer travelers start the day in a calm, organized frame of mind.

Planning your visit

The key here is picking the right segment. Some parts feel more town-connected and social, while others offer a quieter, more rural rhythm that is better suited to trailers and a longer, uninterrupted ride.

Where to stay

This is the kind of destination that can be dressed up or kept simple depending on how you travel. This trail does not rely on horse-camp infrastructure; instead, it benefits from the Green Bay region’s wide range of lodging and dining. That makes it especially useful for travelers who want to blend riding with a city-based weekend.
