Berlin Lock and Dam

DNR Fisheries AreasUpper Fox River Public Access

Berlin Lock and Dam is one of several DNR properties included in the Upper Fox River Public Access group of properties along the Upper Fox River.

The department owns and maintains several facilities, including two no-fee boat launches with parking (one above and one below the dam), an ADA-accessible fishing pier, a restroom facility, picnic tables/benches and the former lock remnants. We contract with the City of Berlin to maintain the area grounds and restroom facilities.

Location/Directions

The Berlin Lock and Dam lies within the City of Berlin along the Upper Fox River. The DNR parking lot and boat landing can be found by following Morris Street south in the city of Berlin. Morris Street becomes a dead end at the DNR parking area.
