Metro Boat Launch
102 Bay Beach Road
Green Bay, WI
The City of Green Bay offers a major boat launching facility located at the mouth of the Fox River. Access to the boat launch is via Bay Beach Road, approximately three-quarters of a mile west of Bay Beach Amusement Park. Metro Boat Launch offers ten lanes for launching boats and one large holding pier for short-term (ten minutes) boat docking. Restrooms and a pay phone are available at the comfort station located just north of the launch lanes. As part of the comfort station, the Green Bay Metropolitan Sewerage District operates an education center that highlights the Fox River and lower bay ecosystem.
The daily launch passes are available for $5.00 and are good only for the date purchased and only at the facilities operated by that municipality.
The Annual Pass is $30.00 (includes 5.5% Wisconsin sales tax) and is good for all launch areas operated by Brown County Park Department, City of DePere, and City of Green Bay. The Annual Pass is valid through the current calendar year. A second sticker for one additional boat (only if owned by the same person) may be purchased for $5.00. To purchase a second sticker, applicant MUST show proof of registration (ownership) for BOTH boats and provide proof of ownership of both boats. In addition, if the first sticker was purchased at another location or time, applicant must show receipt or other proof of purchasing the first sticker at full price. A third sticker will cost $30.00.
Season permits are now available in the City Treasurer's Office, Room 106, City Hall, 8:00 AM-4:30 PM, Monday through Friday.
