Division 41 Kenosha - Fox Waterway Division

Welcome Aboard!

U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Division 41 Kenosha - Fox Waterway Division serves the area in and around the Fox Lake Waterway and Lake Michigan from Great Lakes Naval Station to Wind Point, WI

Individuals and groups interested in recreational boating safety are invited to take advantage of our educational programs, free vessel safety checks, and even becoming a member of a Division 41 Flotilla.
