The Fox–Wisconsin Waterway is a waterway formed by the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers. First used by European settlers in 1673 during the expedition of Marquette & Joliet, it was one of the principal routes used by travelers between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River until the completion of the Illinois and Michigan Canal in 1848 and the arrival of railroads. The western terminus of the Fox–Wisconsin Waterway was at the Mississippi at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. It continued up the Wisconsin River about 116 miles (187 km) until reaching Portage, Wisconsin. There travelers would portage to the Upper Fox River, or eventually, use the Portage Canal. It continued about 160 miles (260 km) down the Fox River, following it through Lake Winnebago and continuing on the Lower Fox over 170 feet (50

  • La voie navigable Fox-Wisconsin est une voie navigable composée des rivières Fox et Wisconsin. Les premiers européens à la parcourir sont les membres de l'expédition de Marquette et Joliet en 1673, ce fut l'une des principales routes utilisées par les voyageurs allant des Grands Lacs au Mississippi jusqu'à l'achèvement du Canal Illinois et Michigan en 1848. La voie Fox-Wisconsin fut remplacée par des canaux et des chemins de fer au XIXe siècle et n'est plus utilisée comme route fluviale entre le Mississippi et les Grands Lacs. (fr)
