The flat crushed limestone base is very good for walkers, hikers, bikers, horseback riders (summer) and snowmobilers. This portion of the trail runs from Oshkosh to Hortonville along 21.8 miles of abandoned railroad corridor.

The causeway trail offers runners, walkers, bikers and in-line skaters the ability to cross Lake Butte des Morts on a trail which connects to the WIOUWASH State Recreation Trail on the north end of the Tribal Heritage Crossing Trail. The Tribal Heritage Trail provides access to fishing and info kiosk for all 11 of Wisconsin's Native American Tribes including the history of those tribes.

The info kiosk overlooks an open window to the water system with history that is remarkable. It is the ancestral home to Native Americans who have been here since time immemorial. Lake Butte des Morts is described as a vibrant river channel winding through a vast expanse of wild rice with fish, fur bearing animals and waterfowl. In the 1850's the waterway changed dramatically with an influx of new settlers and industry, including two dams on the twin lower Fox River outlets of Lake Winnebago.
