Fox Cities Trestle - Friendship Trail Conversion Project

Fox Cities Trestle - Friendship Trail becomes popular destination!

Officially opened on August 27, 2005, the trail has proven to be extremely popular with local residents and visitors to the Fox Cities. The trail is open year round and is a valuable transportation and recreational trail link between the City and Town of Menasha . It features a unique lift bridge over the Menasha Lock (sponsored and built by Miron Construction, Inc.). The 1,600-foot long, lighted pedestrian bridge is the longest in Wisconsin and includes a center pavilion area with seating, and several fishing platforms along the way.

The award winning trestle project is part of the Wisconsin DNR's Friendship Trail that will ultimately run from Stevens Point to Manitowoc. For more area trail information visit www.focol.org/greenways
