(1004) Chart 14916.-Fox River rises above Berlin, Wis., and flows generally E, flowing through Lake Butte des Morts before emptying into the W side of Lake Winnebago at Oshkosh, Wis. The lower Fox River flows from the N end of Lake Winnebago at Menasha, Wis., and flows generally NE for about 39 miles to Green Bay. Above De Pere, Wis., the lower Fox River has been improved as necessary to provide a 6-foot channel to Lake Winnebago.

(1005) Caution.-Mariners transiting the Fox River from De Pere to Menasha are cautioned to stay within the channel. Depths outside the channel are very shallow over bedrock.

(1013) Special anchorages are at Neenah, Wis. in the Fox River S of Doty Island at its confluence with Lake Winnebago. (See 33 CFR 110.1 and 110.79, chapter 2, for limits and regulations.)

(1014) Lake Winnebago is about 28 miles long with a maximum width of about 10 miles and a greatest depth of 20 feet. The waters of the lake are contained by dams on either side of Doty Island and by a lock at Menasha. Lake levels are usually highest between April and June and lowest between December and February. Chart Datum, Lake Winnebago.-During the navigation season, water levels are regulated to stay within prescribed limits above Low Water Datum, 745.1 feet above Pointe-au-Pere (Father Point), Quebec, on International Great Lakes Datum (1955).

Transient berths, water, and launching ramps are available. (1020) Fond du Lac is a small-craft harbor at the S end of Lake Winnebago at the mouth of Fond du Lac River. A tank 1.4 miles S of the river mouth is prominent.

(1021) Channels.-A dredged channel leads from Lake Winnebago to the mouth of Fond du Lac River and upstream for 0.6 mile. In 1978, the midchannel controlling depth was 31⁄2 feet. Overhead cables crossing the channel about 0.5 mile above the mouth have a reported least clearance of 60 feet.
