About This Access Site
Wrightstown Park, located next to Mueller Park in Brown County, provides boat ramp access to the Fox River in the Wrightstown area. The launch offers ample parking and convenient access to this significant waterway. The site is affiliated with the Brown County parks system and includes shoreline paths and fishing opportunities along the bank.
The Fox River at this location is a large, flowing river—a Class 7 stream with an average flow of approximately 2,347 cubic feet per second and moderate current velocities around 3.6 feet per second. Paddlers should be prepared for a substantial river with steady downstream movement. As a headwater-area stream with a 2.4 ft/mile average gradient, expect moving water conditions typical of a major river corridor. The site provides a good starting point for kayaking, canoeing, or motorized boating on this 202-mile river system that drains a 2,500 square-mile watershed.
