Public Informational meeting on November 7 beginning at 5:00 p.m.

Written by

The Town of Wolf River, in cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), is proposing to replace the Alder Creek bridge along Apache Avenue, located approximately 0.9 miles west of the intersection of Apache Avenue and County H in the Town of Wolf River, Winnebago County, WI. The proposed project would involve removing and replacing the existing bridge and reconstruction of the approaches to the bridge, as well as a section of streambank realignment.


Apache Avenue would be closed during construction and no detours would be posted as alternative routes are available. Access would be maintained for local residences and emergency vehicles. Construction is anticipated for the summer of 2026. Minimal real estate (less than 1 acre) is anticipated to be required to complete the project.
An in-person Public Involvement Meeting will be held on November 7 from 5:00-6:00 pm at the Town of Wolf River Town Hall, located at 8800 County Road II, Fremont, WI 54940. Project representatives will be available at that time to discuss the proposed project and address any questions or concerns. A Power Point presentation detailing the project will also be made available on the Town of Wolf River website from October 24 through December 7, 2024. The objective of this Public Outreach is to provide adjacent property owners, interested citizens, and public officials with an opportunity to comment on the design for this improvement.
The public is encouraged to view the proposed project details at the link below and submit any comments or concerns they may have.

        Slow, No Wake hours

        Written by

        The Town of Wolf River would like to welcome boaters this busy summer season, just a few quick updates as our local communities have been working hard to develop better & safer boating.

        Ten large lit buoys have been added to mark the beginning and the end of the slow no wake areas on the Wolf River from the mouth of Lake Poygan through Partridge Lake in Fremont.

        New buoys were also added to blind corners where needed and this brings the total to 36 buoys, all with lights on top and large anchors to keep them in place.

        TOWN OF WOLF RIVER – Ordinance change and new river signage

        Slow-No-Wake @ mouth of the Lake Poygan & Boom Cut

        Slow-No-Wake @ Chico’s Corner/Orihula up to Triangle Farm Campground

        Slow-No-Wake now begins at 6 P.M. on Friday and ends at 12 Midnight on Sunday night in the Town of Wolf River

        This year, Friday the 5th of July is also a Slow-No-Wake Day under the new “Holiday” hours or Gap Day.  Any future year the 4th of July falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, the Monday before or the Friday after will also be included as a slow no wake day per the Town of Wolf River Ordinance #10. (See website)

         In the last 6 months there have been many discussions and meetings in regards to making boating on the Wolf River safer for all boaters.  In the last many years, the number of boaters, the size of the boats, and the speeds of the boats has increased immensely.

        We would like to thank the Fremont Chamber for their help in funding these much-needed improvements in marking the river with signage and buoys.

        Thank you to all the various communities along our river that support our businesses, tourism, & make the Wolf River a great place for all to enjoy.  Welcome to summer on the Wolf River!  Make it a safe one! Be Kind and Respectful to your fellow boaters.
