Green Circle Trail and Environmental Art

Depending on weather conditions, it can be used for biking, hiking, jogging, or skiing. No state trail pass is required to use it. The Stevens Point Sculpture Park is located on Second St. North, right along the Green Circle Trail. It offers an accessible outdoor space for exhibitions, activities, and educational programs focused on environmental art.
