We had been seeing this space across the river when out for walks on the Fox River State Trail…read more Late in the year, we finally drove across the bridge to see what this place had to offer. The park seemed spacious and had few visitors. There is a nice view of the river, space to roam, and some wildlife to see. Whoever is in charge of the park is taking down some large trees to our dismay. For balance, new trees have been planted which is heartening. Ashwaubomay is a place to explore if you've been to Voyageur Park and thought it was too crowded. After all, they both are on the shores of the same river. If I had my way, there would be more greenery especially between the water treatment facility.

This is by far, the worst swimming pool in the area. If I…read morecould give it a "0" I would. First, they do not allow life vests, or arm water wings for kids. The staff completely yelled at me for making sure my child was safe swimming in the water. They claim that their lifeguards would save a child if they were to drown. But yet, all the Staff, mostly men, were to busy hitting on the few girl lifeguards and sat around sun tanning the entire time, not once did they look toward the water to see if people were safe. And if my kid can't be safe, this place IS NOT SAFE. Second- the cost is crazy! $13.50 for two adults and a 6 yr. old. I would rather drive all the way out to Shawano Lake and would not have spent that much on gas. Third- No coolers allowed. Even the small lunch coolers are not allowed. They would rather you die of heat exhaustion and dehydration. And then charge $2 for a small bottle water at their "store" And last but not least, I personally witnessed a mother allowing her 8 yr. old son to pee in the sand! He came out of the water screaming he had to pee, so his mother told him to lay face down in the sand and pee in the sand. GROSS! DO NOT GO HERE!!!

Always pretty and peaceful, great place to walk the dog. But go with a partner because there are…read moreoften very sketchy looking people sitting in their cars and it often feels unsafe.

It seems the one in Kaukauna ranks higher than this course, but I strongly feel this one is my personal favorite. I have not checked out the rest of the park, so this mainly is for the disc golf course.

Just because I give this place three stars doesn't mean it is unworthy of a visit…read more This is a pretty 25 foot water fall that tumbles over the Niagara escarpment onto an accessible river bed. Two small parking lots on both ends of the park give barely ample spots to leave your car for the easy walk to the falls. There is a foot bridge that crosses the top of the falls allowing you to look down on the falls. A major highway is a stone's throw from this bridge. At the other end of the park it a rustic stairway that takes to down to the river bed and gives you a nice view of the falls. Interesting that there are a myriad of padlocks on the stairway steps. This park also includes a statue of Jean Nicolet, who was a French fur trader and made first contact with the local tribes. There is also a historical marker with information about his experience of the local area. This is a nice spot to visit; but you'll share your time there with a lot of people. While this is a pretty spot worth your time to visit, I hesitate to give this place four or five stars. If you give this place five stars, what do you give Big Manitou Falls or Amnicon Falls? Bottom line, this is a pretty spot worth the time to visit. Take the time, there is no such thing as an ugly waterfall.

Lesson learned; October is a time when the waterfall is not flowing so we could see the stones and…read morerocks which are fascinating, but no flowing water to enjoy. We started on the trail but quickly lost it and so we headed back after a short hike. But the view of the falls and woods is beautiful so we enjoyed ourselves anyway. I guess we just got our timing wrong. As we got back to the car we found ourselves parked among many trucks with bow hunters. They were friendly and heading deeper into the property but we felt it was time to leave since we did not have any blaze orange on and our dogs were with us. I imagine spring is a better time to visit and I will check further before we visit again. There is no parking or entry fee, but there is a box for donations as you feel are appropriate.

We have friends whose hobby is to visit waterfalls in Wisconsin. Found this idea worthy of copying…read more Our first outing was to Fonferek's Glen. We got to a crowded parking lot, and parked in one of the few empty spots. The walk to to waterfall overlook is easy if not a bit muddy. This is a pretty waterfall about twenty feet high. There are trails that take you around and down to the bottom of the falls. Nice spot to visit and take pictures. There are no restrooms or picnic areas, just the falls. I have to add social commentary here. We met about thirty people walking to and from the falls. The twenty something's walked by with their eyes firmly on the ground. The forty something's looked up and said hello back. The sixty somethings made eye contact, smiled and said a pleasant hello. Generational differences were apparent. Bottom line, this is a very pretty spot for a quick visit. Be respectful of the private property.

Five stars for Fox River Trail!…read more I only come to Green Bay sporadically, to fulfill familial obligations. Going for a run in this trail is always one of the highlights of my visits (aside from being ensconced in the bosom of my family's love). The trail is very accessible from numerous locations. It is extremely well marked so even if you're unfamiliar, you know where you are and you can find your way back to where you started. The trail is wide and has space for runners, walkers, bikers, etc. There are restrooms along the way and plenty of scenic river views. For non-pedestrians, there is a $4 daily pass required, or you can purchase a season pass. It's cold in the winter, no doubt. But in the spring it's outstanding. On a run today I saw birds, squirrels, rabbits and other wildlife. I also saw some cougars and a couple of bears, but those were all of the spandex-clad variety, if you know what I mean! Great trail for enjoying the outdoors and you can go for miles.

The De Pere Riverwalk and Wildlife Viewing Pier is aptly named. It's a walking path around a river,…read moreit's a pier, it's a place to spot wildlife. This park is located in downtown De Pere, and consists of paved walking/strolling trails that wind around the Fox River. The riverwalk extends to a pier, where you can look out onto the river and see lots of birds, including pelicans. The pelicans seemed to like hanging out by the rushing dam -- they were catching fish in the river. Humans were catching fish too. There were several people fishing, and one person that I saw caught a huge fish. There's a sign on the pier that tells you what kind of fish live in the river: walleye, sturgeon, carp, perch and others. Apparently, you can kayak in the Fox River, and there's a lock here that takes you down the dam. I didn't get to experience that, but supposedly it's a very cool thing to do here.
