Boating

Fond du Lac County provides lake access to boaters at two County Park facilities, Columbia Park and Wolf Lake.

Columbia Park

Columbia Park is best known for its boating facilities with access to Lake Winnebago. A 4-slip marina is available for annual rentals, along with overnight docking on 900 feet of harbor wall. Six boat launches and parking for 100 cars and trailers are available. A 70-foot observation tower and navigation beacon marks the harbor entrance.

 Wolf Lake

Wolf Lake is a small county park facility which provides a one lane boat launch on the south side of the lake with a swimming beach facility located on the east side. The Wolf Lake boat launch is the only public access to the 76-acre lake.

Fees:

Each of these boat launch facilities require a permit for launching. Boaters may obtain a seasonal pass which is usable at all three county facilities.
