* Enjoy the beautiful scenery in Island Park & Heesakker Park while walking the Heritage Parkway Trail. The paved asphalt trail, which is over a mile long, connects the two parks and is accessible by everyone. The view from the scenic overlook on the bow-string pedestrian bridge connecting the parks is amazing. A new addition off the trail is the Nelson Family Heritage Crossing, which is a 1,100 foot bicycle and pedestrian connection between Little Chute's Heesakker Park and an expanded rail trail in the City of Kaukauna.

Portable toilet units on the Heritage Parkway Trail are available year round.
