[ARCHIVED] Fox River Park fully reopens

Kenosha County Executive Jim Kreuser said Fox River Park is fully reopened with the completion of the ash tree removal project.

“I appreciate the public’s patience during the logging project and I’m pleased that Kenosha County is able to reopen Fox River Park attractions, such as the boat launch, with the active fishing season now upon us,” Kreuser said.

Fox River’s 27-hole disc golf course, hiking paths, boat launch, and parking lots are now open to the public. Visitors will have access to a majority of Fox River Park yet are still advised to use caution on all trails as areas remain covered with debris and branches from the ash tree removal project.

Cleanup efforts will be a continued effort and priority by County staff. The next phase of this project will concentrate on the cleaning of small debris, stumps, and turf damage that was caused by the logging operations. As part of the comprehensive reforestation plan, Kenosha County Parks has already planted more than 2,000 trees over the past five years. Over the next three years, Kenosha County will plant an additional 500 trees within Petrifying Springs Park and Golf Course, Fox River Park, and Brighton Dale Links Golf Course.
