Lake Winnebago is a safe lake to swim in, but its a better lake for boating and watercraft recreation. In the summer its a popular spot for boat rentals, boat parades, jet skiing, kayaking, and other water recreation. It is a shallow lake in comparison with other lakes in the area.
You can boat from Lake Winnebago to Lake Michigan through the lock system on the lakes, connecting them in Green Bay. It’s possible to take your boat rental all the way from Lake Winnebago to Lake Michigan through this lock system on the lower Fox River.
The best walleye fishing on Lake Winnebago in the spring and early summer is typically found along the rocky shoreline, in the shallower corners of the lake. In the summer months from July onward, you’ll want to rent or access a fishing boat to get deeper into the lake basin to catch walleye.
