Fox River Resort

Fox River Resort is situated along the shores of the Fox River. The riverside preserve is located near the town of Norway, the first Norwegian settlement in the United States. The gentle rolling hills and seven-acre stocked lake provide an ideal environment for outdoor activities such as canoeing, fishing, swimming, miniature golf and tennis.
