The Newton Blackmour State Trail is a crushed-stone multipurpose trail that runs between New London, Shiocton, Black Creek, and Seymour in Outagamie County. This trail is open year-round. However, there may be times when certain activities are restricted (deer hunting). This is a great way to see what Northeast Wisconsin looks like. Although there are many farm fields along the route, the trail gets a remarkable amount of shade from the trees growing along the trail. The most notable pieces of the route are in Shioctin and Black Creek. In Shioctin you cross the Wolf River on a wooden bridge and in Black Creek there is a small park at the Veterans Memorial that provides a drinking fountain/bottle filler.
This is a former railroad-grade trail between New London and Seymour, running almost parallel to Hwy 54. The western end of the trail was extended this spring. The trail now begins at the Dog Park in New London instead of House Rd. The eastern end of the trail is at Vandenheuvel Road in Seymour. Travelers can continue their ride another 9 miles east on the Duck Creek Trail to the outskirts of Green Bay.
