The Post-Crescent reports that the Fox River will be featured in an independent movie being filmed in this area right now. The movie, Waterwalk, treats the story of a father-and-son journey retracing the route of French trader Louis Joliet and Jesuit missionary Jacques Marquette as they canoed across the Midwest. An especially dramatic moment in the movie, a near tragedy for the father and son team, occurred near an Appleton dam. The Fox River is not the biggest river in the Midwest, but it's a beautiful and powerful one that needs to be respected. It's a core part of Appleton history and culture.

Good luck to the movie crew. Hope they feel welcome while in the Valley.
