Lake Winnebago from Rec Park

A Window onto Lake Winnebago

Lake Winnebago is the largest lake entirely within Wisconsin, a broad freshwater expanse that anchors the Fox Cities region. From the Recreation Park vantage the camera captures its wide, open horizon and the gentle curve of the opposite shore, giving a real sense of the lake's remarkable scale.

The Rec Park Boat Launch

The camera sits at the Rec Park Boat Launch, one of Neenah's main public access points to the water. Anglers, sailors and recreational boaters use the launch to reach the lake, making the foreground an ever-changing stage of vessels and shoreline activity.

Neenah and the Fox Cities

Neenah sits at the northern tip of Lake Winnebago where the lake feeds the Fox River. The city's waterfront parks and marinas make it a popular destination for boating, fishing and lakeside strolls throughout the year.

Wildlife and the Water

The lake and its shoreline host gulls, waterfowl and fishing birds, and the far tree line frames a peaceful natural backdrop. Watchers can follow the comings and goings on one of Wisconsin's most beloved bodies of water.
