Find The Falls

Did you know Green Bay is home to not only one, but two waterfalls? Located in Ledgeview, off of County MM on Memory Lane, Fonferek’s Glen is a 74-acre geological gem featuring a 30-foot waterfall, dolomite cliffs and stone archway. The waterfall can be viewed from the designated use area, an easy 100-yard walk from the parking lot. Then located off Highway 57 and Bay Settlement Road, you will find Wequiock Falls. The park contains a large ravine featuring a close-up inspection on the Niagara Escarpment rock formation.

Go For a Ride and Curate Your Own City Tour

Take selfies with Vince or Curly at Lambeau Field or reimagine a Lambeau Leap. Discover the Packers Heritage Trail. See the Oneida Nation Walk of Legends. Relax on the CityDeck. Take in a spectacular view of the lighthouse on Algoma’s Crescent Beach. We could go on and on. Hop in the car solo or with those you are stuck at home with and go for a driving tour and see Greater Green Bay in a new light. Get out of the house and off your devices while taking in some stunning views! 

Discover Green Bay’s Public Art

Murals and sculptures have been popping up throughout Greater Green Bay for the past few years designed by local artists. Head to De Pere, downtown Green Bay’s Broadway and Olde Main districts and Algoma for a street art scouting trip and stop to pose for selfies with your favorite murals and sculptures.
