July 20, Lower Fox River/ Green Bay Paddle: Usually when we paddle through Green Bay, it means the Tall Ships Festival is in town. While we wait for the life-sized ship reproductions to return, we will instead paddle Green Bay to watch the activity on the River Dock, see the latest redevelopment and maybe catch a good meal.
There are many post-paddle options to enjoy a sandwich with your paddle friends. Here are two for your consideration:
- Fox Harbor Pub and Grill – 348 S. Washington Street, Green Bay, WI 54301
- CityDeck | Downtown Green Bay – 301 N Washington Street, Green Bay, WI 54301
