Welcome
A Welcome from City Mayor Tom Bednarek
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for reading the Fox Lake Visitors Guide. We are very
proud of our community and hope that you will enjoy learning about Fox Lake. We strive to provide
a clean, healthy, and safe environment and are committed to preserving an exceptional quality of life
for everyone who visits.
If you are staying in our community, either temporarily or permanently, I hope you will have an opportunity to take advantage of your favorite water sport on the lake or at our aquatic center, golfing at the
18-hole Fox Lake Golf Club, dining at one of our restaurants, enjoying one of our beautiful parks or library,

A Welcome from Town Chairperson Tom Wissing
We would like to take the opportunity to welcome you to the Town of Fox Lake and our neighbor,
the City of Fox Lake. The Town of Fox Lake was the first area in Dodge County settled by Europeans,
beginning with the 1838 log cabin built by Jacob P. Brower, whose location is still noted today along
County Highway F.
We would like to invite you to enjoy our extraordinary natural resources including Fox Lake and Lake
Emily and the scenic environs of our town including drives along Chief Kuno Trail, Howard Drive,
Blackhawk Trail, Indian Point Road, and Lake Drive. You can enjoy some time for relaxation and enjoy
such activities as boating and fishing, swimming and other water sport activities.
While you are visiting, please don’t forget to stop in at one of our fine establishments along Fox
Lake such as Hayes Resort, Boat House Pub & Eatery, The Shores of Fox Lake, Fox Lake Golf Club,
or Schaumburg’s Supper Club along scenic Lake Emily. In the city you can visit the famous Mullin’s
Drive-In, which has been established for over 75 years, and other excellent restaurants.
We would like to invite you to visit one of the best-kept secrets in Wisconsin.
Sincerely,
Town of Fox Lake Chairman Thomas Wissing

Parks
Recreation and relaxation are very important to this community, as shown through
the number of parks maintained. The Fox Lake community offers its residents and
guests more parks than many far larger localities. Here is a list of parks in Fox
Lake.
Adams Spring Park, located on Highway 33 on the south end of the city, Adams
Spring Park features a memorial to Bunny Berigan, a famous jazz trumpeter from
Fox Lake who performed with some of the best bands of yesteryear.
Clausen Park, located on the north end of the City of Fox Lake, Clausen Park
features a 60-foot-tall Memorial Tower, donated to the city by Leon Clausen in
1955. Public restrooms are at the base of the tower. Clausen Park is the site of the
annual Memorial Day Observances, as well as other activities.
Firemans Park, Firemans Park offers baseball diamonds, as well as volleyball
and basketball courts. It is
located adjacent to the City of
Fox Lake offices, fire department, police department and
community center.
Fox Lake Aquatic Park,
Fox Lake Aquatic Park is
located just east of the Fox
Lake Community Center and
features pools to keep kids
and adults cool on those hot
summer days.
John ‘Red’ Solis Memorial Park, John ‘Red’ Solis
Memorial Park is the newest
addition on the west end of the city and is located on Forest Street in the City of
Fox Lake. Get your children some exercise on colorful playground equipment
Riverside Park, Riverside Park is immediately west of Clausen Park. It features
a large playground, BBQ grills, and a shelter for picnickers and other guests. It also
has a public boat launch, with parking for vehicles, as well as a handicap-accessible
pier for fishing. It is the location for the Concerts in the Park series of live music
events during the summer months.
Town Park, Town Park is located between Blackhawk Trail and the northwest
corner of the lake, in the Town of Fox Lake. It has a handicap-accessible pier, public
access for boating, and a shelter with restrooms.
Veterans Memorial Park, Veterans Memorial Park is a small park on the corner
of College and State streets in the City of Fox Lake. It was constructed in 2002 to
honor all area veterans.
West Crocker Street Park, West Crocker Street Park is in the center of the city
and has a newly-built 1/2 basketball court in addition to playground equipment
and a softball area.
Fox Lake Loop Walking Trail
In the summer of 2003 the City of Fox Lake Beautification Committee
made a dream become a reality by turning the old railroad loop into a walking trail from the Depot to Fox Lake Junction. The loop is approximately
one mile long using the route through Fox Lake when the railroad company
created it to bring the railroad line to town. It was used until the 1960s by
Fox Lake.
By 2006, a prairie garden, other gardens, and several trees were planted
next to the walking trail. Signage and two gated arbors on the Trenton Street
entrance were also installed.
Walkers can enter the trail at any point; however, the Depot Railroad
Museum on Cordelia Street is considered the beginning of the trail. Any
season—winter, spring, summer and fall—just look for signage and enjoy
a hike on the Fox Lake Loop Walking Trail.
Recreation
Fox Lake Golf Club
The Fox Lake Golf Club, established in
1922, is a beautiful 18-hole facility located
on the shores of Fox Lake. The course and
clubhouse are able to accommodate all sizes
of group golf outings, receptions, parties
and family reunions.
The golf course is open to the public from
April to November 15. The dining room
is open from May through September on
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday
evenings. All types of golf memberships
are available.
The Fox Lake Golf Club is located at
N10500 Indian Point Road, Fox Lake. The
phone number is (920) 928-2508. Find them
on the web at www.foxlakegolfclub.com.
Fox Lake Preservation Organization
Annual Golf Outing
Saturday, August 8
The Fox Lake Preservation Organization will hold its 9th annual golf outing on Saturday, August 8, 2015. The popular event, played as a best-ball
scramble, is open to the public.
This golfing extravaganza features great weather, a very attentive beverage
cart for thirsty golfers, a complimentary lunch served at the turn, and the 19th
hole “scene” of swapping golf stories and drawing for many golf prizes and
raffle items. Plan to join the fun!
Aquatic Center
When visiting Fox Lake during the summer, make a point
of checking out the city’s sparkling Aquatic Center. The zerodepth entry—or “beach entry”—is handicap-accessible along
with several bubble jets and a swirling slide to go down. A
large umbrella area is perfect for taking a break and relaxing
in the shade. The Aquatic Center offers swimming lessons for
all ages.
For more information, please call the City of Fox Lake at
(920) 928-2280 or visit www.cityoffoxlake.org.
Fox Lake Aquatic Center Hours:

• Monday–Thursday: Swim Lessons, 10–11:30 a.m.
• Phone: (920) 928-6199
Fishing / Hunting
Fox Lake is continuing to earn its reputation as one of the
top 10 fishing lakes in the state of Wisconsin. Abundant fish
include perch, crappies, blue gills, muskie, northern, walleye
and bass. Fishing is a year-round sport in Fox Lake, whether
it happens from boats, docks, or public piers at the Town of
Fox Lake Park/Boat Launch on Blackhawk Trail or the City
of Fox Lake Clausen-Riverside Park/Boat Launch. Winter
ice doesn’t stop us either. Ice fishing is alive and well! The
aeration system, installed in 1970, is still keeping the lake
from completely freezing, allowing for healthy year-round
fishing. You may pick up a map of Fox Lake, courtesy of
the Fox Lake Chamber of Commerce, at area resorts and
businesses.
Fox Lake isn’t the only lake, either. Lake Emily is just
northwest of Fox Lake and Beaver Dam is just south. Each
have public launches.
Fish Stocking on Fox Lake
To promote the recreational use of Fox Lake for fishing, the Fox Lake Preservation Organization (FLPO) in conjunction with the Wisconsin Department
of Natural Resources (DNR) continues to commit itself to an extensive yearly
fish-stocking program.
In early spring 2014, the FLPO released 800 northern into the ice-laden waters
of Fox Lake. In late September, FLPO’s dedicated volunteers completed the
2014 fish-stocking program, releasing 300 walleyes, 4,230 perch, 150 muskies and 200 northern.
The 2014 total investment in stocking Fox Lake was $8,200. The success of the annual fish-stocking program is made possible by fundraising events, donations, and FLPO membership dues. The generous financial support and the time and effort
of volunteers assure that Fox Lake remains a top-rated fishing lake.
Mill Creek and the Mill Creek Dam
Mill Creek is a canoeing and kayaking dream. You will hear nature’s sounds and observe some of the most interesting
wildlife imaginable. Of course, slow pontoon rides have become quite popular, too. Whatever your pleasure, this spot will be
a relaxing place for a picnic and an amazing area for children to discover and enjoy.
The Mill Creek Dam is also a favorite spot for fishing throughout the entire spring and summer. Located at the end of Mill
Street, this dam controls water flow from Fox Lake to neighboring Beaver Dam Lake.
The Mill Creek Restoration project provides a handicap fishing and picnicking area with a handicap-accessible table by
Riverside Park.
For more information regarding the Mill Creek Restoration project, call the Fox Lake City Hall at (920) 928-2280.
Hunting in the Fox Lake Area
Each fall, deer hunters gather in and around Fox Lake in Dodge
County to take home that special trophy. Many public hunting areas
are available. For more information, contact the Horicon DNR at
(920) 387-7860.
Public Hunting in Fox Lake
• Shaw Marsh Wildlife Area—903 acres, state-owned
• Horicon Marsh Wildlife—11,009 acres, state-owned

beginning at 5:00 a.m. Fisheree time is 7:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.
at the Boat House Pub and Eatery launch.
Raffles, silent auction, door prizes, and bucket raffles begin at 2:00 p.m. at the Legion. Cash prizes in all fish categories for children and adults begin at 4:00 p.m. A separate

2nd Annual Fish
Tales Bait & Liquor
Winter Jamboree
The 2nd Annual Fish Tales Bait & Liquor Winter Jamboree event will take place February 20–22. A large 40’ x 80’
heated tent will be set up off the Town Park on Blackhawk
Trail. Again this year there will be live music, a beer stand,
and food. To be in the fishing contest, you must pre-register at
Fish Tales Bait Shop located at 529 West State St. or call (920)
520-0015. This is one of the largest fisherees in the area.
Three years ago there was a Saturday in February without
an event at the Boat House. They came up with the idea
of a charity fisheree for a group, individual, association,
etc. that would benefit from the money raised from the
fisheree.
This year the 4th annual Fox Lake Local Charities Fisheree will be held on Saturday, February 28. The fisheree
will run from 7:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. It will be held at the
Boat House Pub and Eatery, N10575 Chief Kuno Trail.
There will be prizes for the largest fish caught in six different categories: walleye, northern, perch, crappie, blue
gill and bass—for adults and children alike.
Raffles, door prizes, silent auctions, and a full menu
will all be available beginning at 11:00.
Please contact the Boat House at (920) 928-3470 for
additional information or if you would like to have a
group, individual, association, etc. considered as the
charity recipient.
Fish Tales Bait &
Liquor 5th Annual
Walleye Tournament
This year’s event will take place on Saturday, May 16,
2015 beginning at 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. at Fish Tales Bait

teams. Register at Fish Tales by calling (920) 520-0015.
Weigh-ins and payouts are at Fish Tales.
Fisherees / Jazz Jubilee
Fox Lake Chamber of
Commerce Ice Fisheree
Fox Lake Fire

Fire Department and EMS. Questions about the fisheree can

Bunny Berigan Jazz Jubilee
Enjoy a weekend full of jazz music from all over the nation
Fox Lake holds a three-day salute to “Bunny” Berigan on May 15–17, 2015 when it kicks off one of the best Dixieland
Jazz/Swing events in the United States. Yes, the town is small––actually not much bigger then 108 years ago when
“Bunny” was born––but the Bunny Berigan Jazz Jubilee is a gem in the realm of jazz festivals from coast to coast.
This year the Jazz Jubilee pulls in some of the fantastic musicians from around Wisconsin, such as Rev. Al Townsend leading the Bunny Berigan Memorial Band. Plus, it brings home
Wisconsinites such as Bob Schulz and Bob Hirsch, both living
in California. Then there are the St. Louis Stompers, led by Steve
Lilley, who will play the whole weekend in Fox Lake. Plus, the
Red Hot Dixie band led by Jack Trowbridge, the Kay Berigan
5 Tet, and the Barb City Stompers led by John Skillman. Many
other excellent musicians will arrive in Fox Lake for this wonderful weekend in May.
Just a month after Bunny Berigan’s death in 1942, one of the
nation’s leading Jazz critics prophesied, “One of these years they
are going to start talking about “Bunny” Berigan. They are going
to rave about his trumpeting feats, they are going to dig out his
records, and they are going to play them for the next generation,
pointing out passages to prove that “Bunny” was one of the true
greats of all Jazz.” The critic was right and in 2015, 73 years
after “Bunny’s” death, the event is planned, honoring him and
the music he played. Hoping to pass the music to the next generation, the Bunny Berigan Jazz Jubilee welcomes youth
18 and younger into the Jubilee free of charge.
This year the event is held at three venues: the Fox Lake Community Center, the American Legion Hall in downtown
Fox Lake and Mullin’s Drive-In. There is something about being in Fox Lake, the home of the man who was nationally
billed in his bookings around the nation as the “Miracle Man of Swing.” “Bunny” played with a kind of reckless abandonment but with great improvisation. His playing was spontaneous, and he communicated with the audience—with a
tone that was rich. His vibrato on just a single note was enough to convey that feeling of surging, forward momentum
that is the essence of swing. Mark Gossink of Fox Lake put together a booklet on “Bunny” in 1974 where he included
a quote that jazz fans from all over the world know: “It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing.” And “Bunny”
had that swing.
Fine food will be served at the Community Center, plus all restaurants, bars, and Mullin’s Drive-In will be serving food
all weekend. Further information can be obtained about the Jazz Jubilee by calling Julie Flemming at (920) 928-6094.

for the 2015 event. The Aquatic Center is also located on the show grounds, with many areas for kids and good music that
translates to good times.
Come celebrate all the nostalgia, food, music and good times at the Fox Lake Firefighters Classic Car Show, Saturday, July
25 at Fireman’s Park in beautiful Fox Lake—little town, beautiful area, big heart and lots to do and see. Come and let us show
our appreciation for your entry with all the awe and enthusiasm we have. There’s no experience quite like taking home one
of our trophies from a great family-orientated atmosphere with great prices, great people and great fun. Experienced judges
and staff with top-notch dedication will be on
hand, as it should be. We are not like most
of the other shows. This is a passion. We all
look forward to welcoming you on Saturday,
July 25.

guests. For further information, please call Bob Bergmann at

4th of July Celebration
Sponsored by the Fox Lake Chamber of Commerce - Saturday, July 4
Sponsored by the Fox Lake Chamber of Commerce, a free
Concert in the Park kicks off the evening of Saturday, July 4 at

set. Food and refreshments will be served. Bring your family
and friends, a lawn chair or a blanket.
One of the area’s best fireworks displays begins at dusk.
Come by car or boat. The fireworks on the lake pack a double
whammy as the fireworks explode in the sky and then reflect
on the water.
Riverside Park and the public boat launch area at Riverside
Park offer excellent viewing. The west and north shores of
the lake also offer great viewing opportunities. Many people
board boats and go out to the “small” lake to watch the show.
When the fireworks come to an end, stick around and watch
the parade on the lake as all the lighted boats head for home.
The alternative rain date for fireworks is Sunday, July 5.
Events

Lake Shelter on Saturday evening, September 5. Take
Blackhawk Drive off Highway A. The shelter is on the
south side, or come by boat on Fox Lake.
Food and beverages will be available. Bring your family and friends, a lawn chair or a blanket, and get ready to

5th Annual Fall ‘Spooktacular’ Event
Only four years ago, the Fox Lake Chamber of Commerce, along with other business owners, hosted the very first Fall “Spooktacular” Event in downtown Fox Lake. It was a huge success! Just some of the activities included a pumpkin-carving contest,
popcorn wagon, face painting, children’s costume contest, pet costume contest, Klancy the Klown making his famous balloon
animals, Fox Lake Lions Brat Fry, fire trucks, flea market, drawings for prizes, candy treats galore, free Halloween tattoos, scary
displays with real tarantulas, numerous food vendors and an all-you-can-eat waffle breakfast. Along with all these events, the
chamber also sponsored a scarecrow contest for businesses and non-profit organizations and had the main street lined up with
numerous scarecrows for decoration and fun! Many of the downtown businesses were spookily decorated for the event as well.
In 2015, the Fall “Spooktacular” Event will be held Saturday, October 31 (Halloween) from noon until 3 p.m. Citywide trick
or treating will also take place on that day, making it an especially great family day to spend in downtown Fox Lake. Take a
walk through the cemetery and “meet” some of Fox Lake’s former residents in the evening, weather permitting. The Fox Lake
Chamber of Commerce is always looking for vendors, groups and local businesses to display and share their wares, as well as
zombies and ghouls to walk the streets!

Ducks Unlimited—Two Lakes Chapter
Ducks Unlimited (DU), the original “unlimited,” is a conservation organization dedicated to conserving wetlands and associated habitat for the benefit of waterfowl with subsequent benefits to other wildlife and people. Over 900 species of birds,
fish, amphibians and mammals benefit from these efforts. Ducks Unlimited has conserved over 100,000 acres in the state of
Wisconsin alone.
DU was founded in 1937 by sportsmen who recognized that conserving wetlands helps to ensure the future of waterfowl
populations. Today, DU is strongly supported by both hunters and non-hunters who recognized the many benefits associated
with the habitat conservation program.
These traditions have been carried on locally by the Two Lakes Chapter of Ducks Unlimited since 1985. To support this
effort, Two Lakes DU has a fundraising activity each year. The event is a Mardi Gras Party, held during the Mardi Gras season—a fun time during the winter. This year’s Mardi Gras Party will be held on Monday, February 16, 2015 at Schaumburg
Supper Club. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Dinner is at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $25 per person.
The public is invited and welcome to attend this event. It is not necessary to be a Ducks Unlimited member to attend. Depending upon the interest shown by local and visiting sportsmen, a summer event may also be held.
For additional information on either of these events, call Ron at (920) 928-2482 or Dave at (920) 928-3348.

Friends of the Fox Lake
Public Library
The Fox Lake Public Library Friends organization works year-round to support
and benefit the library. It raises money from membership dues, candy sales, and
their annual book sale. The Friends assist with providing craft classes at the library
like crocheting, watercolor/acrylic painting, and other fun programs.
The Friends have been able to purchase items needed in the library, support the
Summer Reading Program, purchase snacks for the programs and provide support
as needed. Library book bags that can be checked out by patrons were purchased
by the Friends.
The biggest endeavor is the Annual Book Sale. Items withdrawn from the library,
together with donated items, are sold for a nominal amount at the sale. Donated
books can be brought to the library any time during the year and will be stored
until the next sale. Please, no reference books, condensed Reader’s Digest books, or magazines.
In 2015 the book sale will be at the Community Center, 248 East State Street, Fox Lake, on Friday, October 16 and Saturday, October 17. Volunteer to help set up or work at the sale. Your help is always needed and appreciated. Call the library at
(920) 928-3223 for more information.
History
Fox Lake History
Fox Lake’s settlement history dates back to approximately 10,000 years before the white man came here. It was a fertile
place and the Native Americans favored the lake for good hunting, fertile cropland, easy living, and as a gathering spot. With
Jacob P. Brower came the era of recorded history in Fox Lake, and by all accounts it was a peaceful transition. The name of
the city changed three times in the early years: Frankfurt in 1839, Waushara in 1840, and finally Fox Lake in 1856.
In 1860 at the beginning of the Civil War, the community had a population of 2,643, with nearly 2,000 individuals being
residents of the Village proper. The community contributed greatly to the fight for the Union, sending three full companies to
famous duty, including the Iron Brigade and the Eagle Regiment, as well as 20% of Berdan’s Sharpshooters, and numerous
individual regimental volunteers. Fox Lake men were present at most eastern theater battles from Bull Run to Appomattox.
Riverside Cemetery is the final resting place of war veterans from the War of 1812 through current conflicts and all in between, as well as the rejected lover of Florence Nightingale. Fox Lake has the oldest wood-framed building in Dodge County.
Fox Lake had a marine US mail route, was along the Military Road and hosted the first Wisconsin school for women, the
Wisconsin Female Academy, later known as Downer College.
Harriett R. O’Connell Historical Room
Preserving this rich history in the written word and photograph is the O’Connell Historical Room in the basement of the
Public Library. The room has been cited by members of the Wisconsin State Historical Society as “the largest collection of
small town history in the state.” The collection consists of the very first land office registration book for the region, to previous
issues of Fox Lake Representative newspaper and all other important printed word in between.
Thanks to an army of volunteers and donors, this information is being cataloged, cared for, and preserved for future generations. Access to the information may be gained by calling the library at (920) 928-3223 and setting up an appointment to
review the records during normal library hours.
Fox Lake Historical Society
All non-written history is on display at the Fox Lake Historical Society in the many buildings they operate for the community.
The Society is responsible for the preservation of the Fox Lake Depot building, which houses the main society displays, as
well as the Car Shed. The Car Shed houses a 1940s-era Fairbanks gas-engine-powered track car, the summer kitchen, working blacksmith shop, and Sinclair Gas
Station building on the Depot grounds.
It also operates the Community Congregational Museum up the street from the
Depot grounds, which is one of the first
churches in town being built in 1855
and was the longest running continuous
church. It held its final service in October
of 2012.
Housed are items related to the theme
of each building as well as farming and
local business artifacts, Native American
arrowheads, tools, weapons, military uniforms and equipment, an extraordinary
Civil War artifact collection, a Bunny
Berrigan collection dedicated to the
famous jazz musician, and photographs
of the people, places, buildings, and
businesses that made Fox Lake what it
is today.
The Depot Museum is open the first
and third Sunday of every month from
June to the first Sunday in October, as
well as by appointment. Call (920) 2960254. The church is open for special
events or by appointment only.
