Mill Street Boat Ramp

Mill Street provides public boat access to the Fox River in Oshkosh, serving as a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters exploring the Upper Fox River system. Located in Winnebago County, this access site is part of the Upper Fox River's network of public launching areas that support fishing, wildlife viewing, and paddling activities throughout the region.

Paddlers should be aware of navigation considerations along the Fox River system. The Menasha lock is currently closed to prevent the spread of invasive species (round goby) into Lake Winnebago, which may affect access to certain downstream sections. Check current conditions with the Wisconsin DNR before planning longer trips. The site welcomes both motorized boats and human-powered craft like kayaks and canoes, making it suitable for various recreational uses.

For updated information on hours, facilities, and any seasonal closures, contact the Wisconsin DNR's boat access database or local Winnebago County resources. The Fox River offers diverse recreational opportunities, and Mill Street is a good starting point for exploring this water system.
