Lime Kiln Park - A Hidden Gem in Menomonee Falls…read more We took a hike through Lime Kiln Park today and absolutely loved it! Tucked away in Menomonee Falls, this park feels like a peaceful little escape with just the right mix of nature, history, and fresh air. We explored both the upper and lower falls, and the views did not disappoint--especially with the sound of the rushing water and all the lush greenery around us. The trails are paved and easy to follow, which made our walk feel more like a relaxing stroll than a workout. There's something really cool about walking past the historic lime kilns--like you've stepped back in time for a moment. Between the rock formations, bridges, and little scenic spots to pause and take it all in, we found ourselves stopping often just to appreciate the beauty around us. It's the kind of place where you can go for a walk, clear your head, or bring the family for a peaceful afternoon. We even saw a few people playing disc golf and lots of birds hanging out near the water. If you haven't been yet, Lime Kiln Park is totally worth the visit. Bring your walking shoes, your camera, and a little curiosity--you'll leave refreshed and maybe even a bit inspired.

Lots of stuff to do in the warmer months and all for free. I think they also just installed new lighting in the park as well. This park is always well kept and very clean. Take your kids here for a full day of fun without opening your wallet.

What a nice park, two clean covered large picnic areas, great for a group summer celebration. The…read morepark is well maintained and very nice to bike through, well not at night when it's dark and I run into things. There's a nice baseball field, reasonably clean restrooms, a nice balance of open meadow - cut grass and light forest. It's a long curving park with ample parking, lots of dogs with their humans visit here but I've never stepped in any irresponsibility so that says something about the people who frequent this park. Mosquitoes were a little aggressive but what are you going to do, a creek runs through the middle.

This time I came to test out the full expanse of the water with my paddle board. I came with my brother who had his kayak and fished. He caught a rainbow trout (and released). We stayed on the water for almost 4 hours - the water was nice and clean and it was busy but not crazy. The beach area was definitely a popular busy zone but most the people were in the designated swimming area versus the open lake. Just a great time and will be back! If looking to grab a spot on the dry land I would recommend arriving before 11am- that's when it started filling up more.

What a nice green park with convenient access to nature less than a half hour from downtown…read moreMilwaukee! Fox Brook has a swimming pond area, a pavilion for the beer garden and a rentable pavilion at Picnic Area 1. I rented out the pavilion for 30+ guests and it has plenty of space, can hold Up to 200. It also has a volleyball net and a cut little loop on the prairie. Lots of migrating birds in the spring! The reservation comes with a fee of course which you can reserve online. There is a $7 fee to enter the park as well and can also be done online. There's a paved trail that loops the swimmable Pond shared with bikers. It's a peaceful place to walk your dog, or by yourself or with friends/family/significant other. There is also a few offshoot unpaved trails that cuts into the trees for a short while to walk along the trees. Pretty decent if you're looking to take a quick walk and enjoy nature or have a meetup and enjoy some beer at the beer garden.

Great spot to get on the bugline, which is a nice ride in either direction.

Also there's a good sled hill, and looks like plenty of trails for cross-country skiing. Also in these snowy times the bugline is the domain of snowmobiles. Just be careful at the crossing of Lake Five Road and the bugline, there are a lot of bike collisions here according to the state statistics. Don't add to them, drive and bike carefully!

It's such a peaceful time, perfect for bird watching, biking, walking, running, sight seeing, etc. Each bridge is fun to walk on and give you different sights of the south side and downtown area. There are some factories around but they didn't add too much noise or anything like that. Definitely one of my favorite parks/trqils. I've taken some of my clients with the youngest being 8 and she absolutely loved it, the hills, the animals, and the water. Definitely recommend for nature lovers.

It's an easy loop with plenty of benches along the trail. Trees, wildlife and a babbling brook make it just delightful. Schoen Laufen translates to Beautiful Walk, and that is exactly what this is. Just remember to bring your bug spray, as the mosquitoes were relentless!

Maybe it's just the couple times I've been here but more than half the patrons were South Asian making me feel at home, but all in all not crowded so I could take a solitary stroll. It's right near some shopping, shopping stresses me out, so that's why I've been here a couple of times.

I cannot explain to you the history or anything about this place other than it exists and it's a…read morelovely plot of land. There was basically no signage outside so we just followed the GPS into what looked like private property and through the gates. Inside there was a parking lot and in the short distance a house. We entered the house and really didn't gather any information there. The guy working kinda just wanted to be on his computer. No gift shop, it was kind of bleak. I think they could do more here to promote the place and make money (I assume money couldn't hurt!) There are no walking paths, just grass. You are left to wander aimlessly as you choose through the property so we did. Lots of space between the sculptures so if walking is an issue, this place is not for you. My 13 year old really enjoyed the pond and wildlife. We saw a lot of frogs and a few turtles. I have to say, it's very pretty. But I do wish I had some more information to take home with me about the garden.

Very cool spot to go to. Tried this out in March but I'm sure it's even more spectacular in the…read moresummer months. The turn in to the garden is tough with high speed traffic behind you, but there is ample parking. The staff inside the welcome center was friendly and there are clean bathrooms inside. It's a little tricky to find the entrance if it's your first visit. Ps - it's towards the back facing the garden. Looking forward to going back!
