Pig Alley. . One of the most picturesque areas along Duncan Creek Bike Trail is ironically known as Pig Alley. The alley runs from the north end of North Grove Street, along Duncan Creek, to the brewery. This trail got its name in the late 1800s when pigs and other livestock owned by the Leinenkugel family roamed this area. City residents enjoyed spending their summers swimming or fishing among the rapids in Duncan Creek and spending winters sledding or skiing on the Leinenkugel's hill. Locals and visitors continue to make fond memories here today.
