Directions
American Family Field area: Driving east or west on Interstate Highway 94, take exit 308B and go south on Highway 175 (Brewers Blvd.). After entering Highway 175, move as soon as possible to the right lane and take the exit marked American Family Field. Follow around the curve and at the first set of lights turn right. At the next set of lights turn left into the Gantner parking lot. This is just south of the Klement's Sausage Haus. Park here and take the pedestrian bridge across the river. The Hank Aaron State Trail sign is at the bridge's east end. The trail is down the hill from the sign via ramps at the north and south ends of the walkway. Visitors can take Frederick Miller Way from the south and follow signs to the general parking area as well. There is also parking near the intersection of Canal Street and Milwaukee Road just east of the stadium or a Park and Ride lot at 76th Street, just south of Interstate 94 and a block north of the trail.
Road connections: Several roadways intersect with the rail corridor portion of the trail. These connections are at 94th Place, 76th Street, 68th Street, Hawley Road and the Zablocki Medical Center west of American Family Field. East of the stadium, the trail continues off the rail corridor. There are several road connections as well as some segments where the route of the trail continues on roadways.
A river loop trail exists as an alternative to the parallel path along Canal Street. The river loop can be accessed from the main Hank Aaron State Trail at 25th Street or 13th Street (Emmber Lane). This loop offers a more secluded trail along the Menomonee River, behind the buildings facing Canal Street. This trail segment also runs along the Marquette Soccer Fields.
