About

The Fox River drops 168 feet between the cities of Neenah and Green Bay, a vertical drop that makes this area unique. A series of locks and dams control the current to make navigation possible. Since 1854, when the first paper mill opened in Appleton, the paper industry has been the mainstay of the local economy.

Today, riverfront development and the reopening of the locks system has created a new appreciation for wildlife and recreational opportunities.

The purpose of this blog is to share stories and photos celebrating the Fox River in Appleton, WI.  Whether we are chronicling riverfront development, sharing history from former locktenders, posting photos from recent events,  or just appreciating the wildlife and scenery, we hope you will join us and continue the conversation!
