fox-wolf watershed
The Fox-Wolf Watershed, a drainage basin in Northeast Wisconsin, makes up almost 10% of the state. Within the Fox-Wolf Watershed there are three smaller basins: Wolf River basin, Lower Fox River basin, and Upper Fox River basin. Water within the Fox-Wolf Watershed drains to the Fox and Wolf Rivers, through the Winnebago Pool Lakes, out to the bay of Green Bay, and then to Lake Michigan.
​
Key features of this watershed include Lake Poygan, Lake Winneconne, Lake Butte des Morts, and Lake Winnebago which, together, contain about 17% of Wisconsin’s inland lake surface water. Portions of this watershed are also heavily urbanized. In Brown, Calumet, Outagamie, and Winnebago counties the population is nearing 700,000 people.
