Description | The Walk Box is not located behind the counter, but instead placed on a window ledge near the entrance by the newspapers. Walkers will travel paved sections of the Western Green Trail along the Yahara River, stroll through Veterans Park and the downtown area of DeForest, and continue on to the 10' wide porous asphalt and boardwalk Upper Yahara River Trail. This walk is a remote start, so after registering for the walk at the Kwik Trip, one must drive 1.2 miles to the start point at Western Green Park Shelter at 417 Acker Parkway. |
