The Kaukauna Locks Trail runs along a steep drop to the Fox River and includes five Kaukauna locks. During the summer, enjoy watching the locks in action from the trail and chat with the lock tenders about their work. The trail is well-lit with benches located along the route for resting or taking in the scenic views. Informational signage provides a history of the canal and its locks. While on the trail, you'll pass two swing bridges built in 1901 and the historic Grignon Mansion.
The trail connects to the network of trails in Kaukauna and the Fox Cities. The western end of the trail is just across the river from the eastern end of the Nelson Family Heritage Crossing. Other nearby trails include the Konkapot Creek Trail, the Newberry Trail, and the CE Trail.
Free parking is available along Augustine Street, at Kaukauna Lock 5, on Canal Street, and at the Fox River Navigational System Authority office (1008 Augustine St, Kaukauna). Visit the TrailLink map for all options and detailed directions.
