About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** Fred C. Miller Park is located in Omro off Highway 21 at 1241 Kiwanis Street in Winnebago County. The park offers a dedicated boat launch ramp with docking facilities and mooring available along the seawall-lined Miller Bay, making it convenient for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats.
**About the Fox River:** The Fox River at this location is a large, established waterway (Stream Order 7) with an average flow of approximately 2,347 cubic feet per second and moderate velocity of 3.63 feet per second. The river has a gentle gradient of 2.4 feet per mile, suggesting relatively calm, meandering sections typical of this area. As a major river system draining 2,500 square miles, expect consistent water levels suitable for paddling throughout most seasons.
**Amenities & Nearby Access:** Fred C. Miller Park provides excellent fishing opportunities along with the boat launch. The park features community facilities including an aquatic center, shelters, and pavilions. Multiple access points exist along the Fox River corridor, with Fox River Park (116.1 miles downstream) and Mary's Park among nearby alternatives for multi-day paddling routes. The area's quiet, wooded setting makes it ideal for recreational paddling and fishing.
