Trail name: Fox River State Trail Times biking the trail: Weekly Date of last visit: Oct, 2002 Sections that I biked: De Pere to Green Bay My favourite sections of the trail: Best time to go: spring, summer and fall Trail marking: Very good Trail maintenance: Very good Rating: 3 stars What I liked: scenery and layout What I disliked: need a few more rest areas, restrooms and a place to purchase refreshments Comments: the trail was fine until the blue steel gates were put up just recently. they are very hard to see from even a short distance. they blend in with their surroundings. if they need to be there, then please paint them a bright reflective yellow or a color that people could see from a distance. i'm afraid someone will run into them now if they remain blue. the sooner something is done about this the better!!!
