Kayaking & Boating

Power boaters are welcome at marinas throughout the Fox Cities. Municipalities also maintain safe and affordable recreational boat launches all along the waterways, just as canoe and kayak enthusiasts will find calm, modern put-ins. Sailing is a popular sport on Lake Winnebago whose relatively shallow waters rapidly change and challenge sailors on their Flying Scots, keelboats, and small dinghies; ice boats even dot the horizon in the winter. You’ll find plenty of provisions available at boater-friendly pubs and eateries along the shoreline.

If you’d rather sit back and hire a boat captain, The River Tyme Too of River Tyme Tours plies the water of the Fox River from its dock at RiverHeath in Downtown Appleton and offers both public tours and private charters.
