About This Access Site
Ferry Road provides a convenient public access point to the Fox River near Princeton in Green Lake County. The site features both a concrete boat ramp and sandy shoreline suitable for kayaks and canoes. Amenities include seasonal restrooms, drinking water, a shelter, and picnic areas, with the site also offering fishing and bird-watching opportunities. The access point is free to use and open year-round.
The Fox River at this location is a substantial waterway—a large river (stream order 7) with an average flow of over 2,300 cubic feet per second and moderate current at approximately 3.6 feet per second. Paddlers should be prepared for a river with decent flow and plan accordingly. The river features a 2.4 ft/mile average gradient with a total 482-foot elevation drop over its 202-mile length. This is near the river's headwaters, and paddlers should note that many historic locks on the Upper Fox River are no longer operational, though some sections downstream (particularly the 12 navigable miles from Menasha to Little Chute and 19 miles from Wrightstown to Green Bay) maintain working recreational locks.
