Fox River, the name of two streams rising in Wisconsin. (1) The Fox River, or Pishtaka (220 miles), flows south to Aurora, then south-west to the Illinois, which it enters at Ottawa.—(2) The Fox River, or Neenah, after a tortuous but generally north-east course of about 250 miles, falls into Green Bay in Lake Michigan. It is divided into two sections by Lake Winnebago, the upper one being connected by a canal with the Wisconsin, so as to link together the Mississippi and the Great Lakes.
