Oak Point Day Use Area Boat Ramp

Oak Point Day Use Area on Route 173 serves as a boat access point for the Fox River and Chain O'Lakes system, featuring a boat ramp and picnic facilities.

The location hosts the annual duck blind drawing (held the last full weekend of July) and provides access to intermediate to expert paddling routes with significant motorboat traffic.

Amenities include parking in designated areas and nearby restaurants, though the Fox Waterway Agency charges usage fees for this section of the water trail.
