Walk out the front door, turn right to Nicolet, turn right and walk down to the water to sit on the benches - nice for anytime of the day, sunrise, day or sunset. Nicolet Boulevard is the dividing line on Doty Island between Neenah and Menasha (it is split in half) . Keep walking a block left onto Willow and veer onto Lake Rd. Walk a short ways to the super cute wooden bridge. Keep right and walk down the lane and see the pretty mansions on the water.

Drive or bike. Several ways to access the trail. Go towards downtown Menasha and go west on 3rd until you see the trestle. Or access it by going to downtown Neenah a little west of the stores and you will see Acension medical offices - bordering their parking lot is Millview Drive, pull in even though it is under construction. Keep going on Millview Drive to the upper parking lot. Bike or walk the 3.5 loop.

Cozy coffee shop a mile away. Make sure you walk through the whole place and see that you can do your work there with their free wifi. They have a mini library in the back and of course delicious coffee, teas and their baked oatmeal with your choice of topping is a fan favorite. They have great lunches too.

"Hole in the wall" but clean authentic restaurant. You have to go early - like 4:30. Very popular but small. Their house margarita is "danger danger" because you have never tasted anything so good but they are strong. Get the blackened chicken burrito or the grilled fish tacos with asian slaw on top (omggg). There is a large Solea in south Neenah where you can sit outside - it just has a more Americanized feel.

Old fashioned supper club landmark - (you can picture Joe Mannix walking in the door). Delicious food. Here are the reviews: Fox Valley Restaurant Reviews Jesse Clark · 12 hrs · Kudos to Michiels. We dined at Michiels last night and it was delicious! I enjoyed a petite cut of prime rib, I requested an end cut. It was done to perfection and was huge. When she brought it out I swore it was a king cut but she assured me no it was the petite cut. Needless to say I have leftovers for today! Service was good and the two piece band was very good and entertaining. I regret I didn’t take pictures of the prime rib. We love Michiels. We were there last night also. I got my usual petite tenderloin medium rare with garlic mashed potatoes. The steak was done to perfection as usual. My husband got the perch dinner. The music was phenomenal! Always get a bigger piece of prime rib for leftovers.... Jenny Michiels. Another great experience. Congratulations Love Michiels! Stuffed tenderloin is the best in the Valley, IMO! 💜

Here is a real review I read (this is a supper club - old fashioned type of eating). 10/10 highly recommend trying Red Ox!!! Everything was absolutely perfect. Drinks were great. We had the clam strips for an app. I got one of their combos... garlic stuffed tenderloin, which was perfectly cooked, with shrimp that was stuffed with crab and wrapped in bacon with a twice baked potato. My husband had a similar dish but with jalapeño tempura battered shrimp which were 🔥 . So amazing!!! I didn't want to stop eating! The kicker... we were in and out in about an hour! Everything perfectly timed 👌
