Winnebago County Parks has received a $100,000 grant for Asylum Point Bridge replacement. The Winnebago County Parks Department was recently notified that a $100,000 grant has been awarded from the Natural Resource Trustee Council to replace the damaged Asylum Point Island bridge with a new clear span structure. Ice shoves have damaged the piling style bridge several times in the past. Going forward, a clear span bridge will be installed to alleviate the problem of ice damage. The grant was awarded by the Fox River Natural Resource Trustee Council. View the full details.

Popular fish species including walleye, bass, catfish, perch and musky inhabit the waters.
