The Fox River

The Fox River winds through the center of the Village from north to south. To the north, travelers will encounter the 1800-acre Lake Tichigan above the Waterford Dam. The River continues south into Illinois.  Fishing and boating are the two primary recreational activities, with fishing from the dam and riverbank and the two boat launches north of the dam to accommodate boaters.  

The Fox River is considered by many to be the Village's most valuable yet under-utilized natural resource.  Public access to the river can be found at River Bend Park, Safety Building Park, Ten Club Park, Village Hall Park and Whitford Park, and the public motorized boat launch at Huening Park which is open April 1 to October 30 from 8:00 am-10:00 pm. Canoe/kayak launches were constructed above and below the Waterford Dam in 2015, allowing easy access from the headwaters in Waukesha County to the Illinois state line (launches were also be constructed around the Rochester Dam for easy portage).
