Fox River Locks De Pere - Waterway Locks, Planes and Lifts on Waymarking.com

Located in a beautiful area in downtown DePere, WI, this locks system is fully functional, but its use is limited to mostly pleasure craft, a local cruise ship, and a maintenance barge now & then. Many of the other locks on the system closed down during the eighties as a result of lessening commercial traffic and an increase in alien species, such as Sea Lamprey. Thsoe locks are now all in the process opf re-opening.
Nearby is Voyager Park, Shopping and dining, St. Norbert College, and the Fox River Trail.
