(Waukesha, WI) – Waukesha County Park System is thrilled to invite residents and visitors to celebrate the completion of the new Fox River Trail in Brookfield on Wednesday, August 30, 2023, at 10:30 am with a ribbon cutting ceremony and remarks from project coordinators. Join us at Coffeeville Company at 2825 North Brookfield Rd in Brookfield.

“For this delightful addition to the outdoor recreation landscape in Waukesha County, we are grateful for the collaboration, dedication, and passion of the region’s trail lovers and the staffs of the City of Brookfield, the City of Pewaukee, and Waukesha County Parks,” said Waukesha County Executive Paul Farrow. “It’s easier than ever now for more Waukesha County residents and visitors to enjoy the outdoors and pursue wellness goals.”

The Fox River Trail is a three-mile trail between the City of Pewaukee and the City of Brookfield. It runs from a trailhead on Watertown Road in Pewaukee through scenic wetlands and woodlands and along residential neighborhoods to Brookfield Road in Brookfield. Currently, no other County Recreation Trail connects to the Fox River Trail.
