The National Park Service has designated a new recreational water trail that travels through the Village of Oswego. The Fabulous Fox! Water Trail encompasses 158 miles with over 70 access points on the Fox River from southeast Wisconsin through Ottawa, Illinois. Oswego’s access points along the Fox River include Hudson Crossing Park, Saw-Wee-Kee Park and Violet Patch Park.
The initiative encourages people to explore the National Trails System and engage in a range of recreational water activities such as kayaking and fishing. Oswego stands to benefit from the designation with additional visitors exploring the Fox River and discovering our charming downtown.
