Upper Fox River Basin

The Upper Fox River basin is located in east-central Wisconsin. It includes all of Marquette County. Portions of Adams, Calumet, Columbia, Fond du Lac, Green Lake, Winnebago and Waushara counties make up the remainder of the basin. The total area of the basin is 2,090 square miles. All streams draining to Lake Winnebago, with the exception of those in the Wolf River basin, are located in the Upper Fox River basin boundary.

The basin is very diverse in its land use, geomorphology and biology. All of these aspects are affected by the socioeconomic impacts of the fast-growing communities found in the basin. Land use is diverse and very dynamic. Agriculture, urban, recreational land and forests are major land uses that affect the basin's ecology.
