🚶🚲 Could a bike and walking path around Fox Lake be part of our community’s future? Come explore the possibilities!

The Fox Lake Preservation Organization (FLPO) has partnered with UW–Platteville senior civil engineering students on a free feasibility study exploring a potential bike and walking path around Fox Lake.

Earlier this year, a bike/walking path was the #1 supported project in FLPO’s member survey. That feedback prompted us to take this first step and now we’re inviting the entire community to learn more!

The students are evaluating potential routes, safety, design challenges, and estimated costs. They recently shared their midterm findings with the FLPO, FLILPARD, City of Fox Lake, and Town of Fox Lake boards, and we’re excited for everyone to see their final recommendations.

📅 Thursday, December 3, 2026
🕕 6:00–7:00 p.m.
📍 Fox Lake City Hall
🎤 UW–Platteville Students’ Final Feasibility Study Presentation

Imagine more ways to enjoy Fox Lake on foot or by bike, connect neighborhoods, and reach local businesses and recreation areas. Join us to see what the students have explored and consider what could be possible.

There is currently no funding in place to build the path. The feasibility study comes first, followed by public input to help determine next steps. Proposed routes are still concepts for consideration.

Everyone is welcome - you do not need to be an FLPO member to attend! Please share this invitation with friends and neighbors and help bring the Fox Lake community into the conversation.

Wisconsin DNR Fisheries Biologist Mark Baldock joined FLPO last week to explain how the 2025–2026 Fox Lake fish survey was conducted and share preliminary findings on musky, northern pike, walleye, bass, and panfish.
