Duck Creek Trail facts for kids
The Duck Creek Trail is a fun path made of crushed limestone in northeast Wisconsin. It stretches for about 7 miles (11 kilometers) through Outagamie and Brown Counties. The trail starts in Seymour, near Vanderheuvel Road. From there, it goes east through the land of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin, following along State Route 54, until it reaches the Village of Oneida. The plan is for the Duck Creek Trail to eventually reach Pamperin Park in Green Bay.
This trail connects with the Newton Blackmour State Trail. When you combine both trails, you get over 30 miles (48 kilometers) of paths to explore! Together, they stretch all the way from the Village of Oneida to New London.
