When they built the new bridge over Lake Butte des Morts, they added this trail alongside the traffic on I-41 for cyclists, walkers and fishermen. There are several installations along it that celebrate the Native American Tribes of Wisconsin. There is a parking lot on the north end, and on the south end it can be accessed from Two Brothers Restaurant/La Quinta. It connects to the Wiouwash Trail if youd like to go further. If you cross it northbound, you can also turn right to the parking lot and then continue down the section of the Wiouwash Trail that leads to the UW-Oshkosh campus. Dogs are welcome on leash. Its ADA compliant, so its wheelchair accessible. Theres also an ADA compliant porta-potty about midway. Sure, there are several lanes of traffic going by on the other side of the wall, but were quite grateful they made the effort to create this trail for us to use. Keep an eye out for herons, muskrats, white pelicans, cormorants, ducks, the occasional eagle, and more.

It is definitely a breath taking walk and I highly recommend doing it. But dont expect to just spend an hour plan for 3-4 or more because an hour just isnt enough time.

Great place to take a nice long walk! Good fishing here as well!

Good fishing spot for white bass and walleye

Took a walk with my 3 kids here! Its so nice! There is a large shady area under the bridge that you can sit and watch the boats go by!

Beautiful view of the lake. I like to bike this trail.

The road was there and it was smooth sailing. A lot better in the cold than when its hot. I dont miss the infestation of nats

A unique hiking trail along the Butte des morts bridge. Learn a little bit about the local history as there are a number of kiosks. At night it is lit up, from the street lamps on 41, if you dare a night walk.

Nice place to get away with little foot traffic around. Different view of 41, relaxing place just to skip rocks.

What a waste of state transportation money. The bridge itself was needed, the walkway goes no ware.

Nice little trail that connects Oshkosh’s north side to the south if you’re traveling by bike or foot!

Nice option for connecting to the WiOuWash trail. Several informational exhibits along the way provide background on the areas native inhabitants. Also provides access to the river for fishing.

Its an Oshkosh paved pedistrian/walking trail that runs along the northbound traffic lanes of I-41, locally known as The Butte des Morts Bridge. You are separated from the traffic lanes by a permanent wall. You still hear the roar of the traffic but you are able to see the Fox River as it flows toward Lake Winnebago to the east. It can be quite windy and a bit cooler on the trail. There are historic info stations telling the stories of the native American tribes of Wisconsin. Each station has seats for resting. About half way across, there is a porto potty. The south end of the trail has a good place for ice cream.

Its SO loud since it follows HWY 41. Good place to go by yourself with ear buds

What a wonderful trail. This path can be accessed from either side of the Lake Butte des Morts bridge. The North side is a trail head for the Wiouwash Trail. The South side is the parking lot for Two Brothers Restaurant.the trail is a pedestrian bridge crossing Lake Butte des Morts. Along the way are informational signs about the various Native American Tribes that were in the area. Well worth the time to read these pieces of history.In the middle of the bridge, the trail splits. You can choose to continue to the other side of the bridge or head down to the water where you are treated to a spectacular view from underneath Interstate 41.
