GREEN BAY - You've just finished Thanksgiving dinner and are starting to feel it: the grogginess coming on after gobbling all the turkey and stuffing you can.

You also just had a long conversation updating all your family members about your life these days and could use a break.

It's the perfect time to take a walk and bring the family out for some fresh air to help digest dinner. The greater Green Bay area has several trails to explore.

Here are four places in the Green Bay area you can go to avoid the Thanksgiving food coma.

Take a break at the city's riverfront at CityDeck

Located in the center of the city, CityDeck is the perfect place to take a scenic stroll by the Fox River on North Washington Street.

Over an acre long, it's the perfect place to re-energize yourself on the terrace by the water.

Enjoy nature at Mountain-Bay Trail

Soak in the trees and woods on Mountain-Bay Trail in Howard. The trail starts on Lakeview Drive near Interstate 41 and goes for 13 miles through Brown County.

People should wear blaze orange because there may be deer hunting on neighboring property.

Get some quiet at Baird Creek

Take a peaceful walk on one of the 2.6 miles of trails at Baird Creek on the city's east side. The trails have different levels of difficulty for anyone. The trails extend from Main and Elizabeth streets to Triangle Park Area.

Explore and take pictures of the over 20 species of birds and wildflowers growing on the prairie along the trails.

Take the pups out to a dog park

Give the fur babies a break on Thanksgiving by taking them to one of dog parks in the area. Stop by the Brown County Dog Park, located at 1000 Pleasant Lane in Hobart, or the newly opened Vital Essentials Dog Park at 325 N. Broadway.

Make it an outing for the entire family and walk off some of the food from Thanksgiving dinner and play with the dogs.
