in Wisconsin, the Garden Peninsula in Michigan, and the chain of islands between
them, all formed by the Niagara Escarpment. Green Bay is some 120 miles long,
with a width ranging from about 10 miles to 20 mi. It is 186 square miles in area.
At the southern
end of the bay is the city of Green Bay, Wisconsin, where the Fox River enters
the bay. The Leo Frigo Memorial Bridge (formerly known as the Tower Drive bridge)
spans the point where the bay ends and the Fox River begins. Locally, the bay
is often called the Bay of Green Bay to distinguish the bay from the city. The
bay is navigable by large ships.
