Lower Nemahbin Lake - Paddle boarding

Lower Nemahbin Lake

5.0(2 reviews)
9.1 km

I've been on the hunt for solid paddle boarding spots that aren't too far from Milwaukee…read more We tried the pond at Veterans Park on the lakefront in Milwaukee, but I was so worried about falling in the water (it's not clean...at all) that I didn't enjoy it. We tried Pewaukee Lake, but there was a bit too much motor boat action to enjoy paddle boarding. I was flummoxed, until I spoke to someone who lives in Delafield. She recommended Lower Nemahbin Lake. Yahtzee! With free parking and easy access to a kayak/paddle board dedicated dock, Lower Nemahbin Lake is the perfect lake for us! Clean lake water flanked by lush green without too much motor boat activity (it isn't a wake-free lake but boaters are respectful and aren't abundant), we couldn't ask for a better location for paddle boarding. It has an anchored dock in the middle of the lake that we love paddling out to for an afternoon picnic on the lake (and to let the kiddo get some dock jumping/swimming in). It's also kinda fun to paddle under the overpass. Last time we went through, we were able to see a birds nest with peeping baby birds. All in all, a great spot to spend a leisurely Sunday afternoon. Get to it!

Easy access: ***** Boat traffic: ***** (not a lot)…read moreWater quality: ***** Free access: ***** Lower Nemahbin Lake is located in Waukesha County in the Village of Summit. This review is for the lake in general for kayaking or paddle boarding. We have been kayaking and paddle boarding for three years now and been to 6 different lakes. I've lived on Okauchee Lake and grew up boating on many of these lake. The public access is down Sugar Island Road just off of I94 provides quick and easy access to the lake which is a bonus. Parking is limited but many cars don't seem to follow the signs which limits 10 cars to the parking lot. Without DNR manning and charging people this will happen. Still plenty of room to unload your gear and a short 100 feet walk or so to the kayak launch area with a short 20 feet pier. There is a public launch for boats but is for small fishing boats as it is a shallow launch and very shallow water for a long way past the island. The shallow water way has a sandy bottom so very little to no weeds and warmer water. Lower Nemahbin Lake is a 239 acre lake located in Waukesha County. It has a maximum depth of 36 feet. Visitors have access to the lake from a public boat landing. Fish include Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike and Walleye. Overall a Great Lake to kayak, canoe or paddle boarding.

I have been a customer for probably about 16 or more years. Their customer service was always…read morereally poor but I put up with it for the location near multiple lakes. As a long standing customer, I will tell you a few things. 1.) I stored my boat with them and it would take them up to six months at times to cash my check. I had to take a ride from MKE to Oconomowoc multiple times to ask them to cash my check as they don't answer the phone. 2.) On more than one occasion I had a rodent problem during winter storage. The last time rodents chewed through wires. 3.) I had repairs done with them and they were always late, frequently saying next week and then next week again ad infinitum. I remember one time, I called repeatedly because no one answered the phone. The owner finally answered and said, "I cant get any work done with the phone ringing off the hook." Hire someone to answer the phone. 4.) One time during the run up for summer storage, they threw my boat cover in what looked like Dextron fluid completely soaking the back half of the new cover. I politely called the owner ( he finally answered the phone) and his response was, "We're only human." Understatement of the Century. 5) Lastly, I had been with them so long, there was a time when you could do minor repairs in their boat yard. Apparently that changed somewhere along the line and they never told me. There is fine print on the bottom of the storage agreement. You'd think they'd tell long-standing customers about the policy change. I recently spliced a wire in my boat which took a bit longer than an hour, apparently the owner saw I was on the property that long after reviewing his surveillance tapes. He calls me at work. I say, "Hey what's up , "and the owner starts barking at me loudly. Come get your boat, we'll return your check. I had just paid. I asked why. He said I told you not to work on your boat on the yard. I told him he had not and if he did, I would have done the repair elsewhere. He started yelling, YOU SIGNED A PIECE OF PAPER. YOU SIGNED A PIECE OF PAPER - apparently referencing the rental agreement. I got angry and said I've been a customer for almost 20 (expletive) years and he had watched me install my boat seats in the yard years ago. I didn't know the policy had changed. After that the owner said, "I don't appreciate your language and we'll have to see what the insurance says after uploading the tapes (whatever that means). After that I was finished. Convenient location to the lakes wasn't worth it. I came and pulled the boat the next day and the secretary gave me back my check. The owner wasn't around. Yes I should have read the fine print but when a customer has been with you that long, you should probably tell them about the policy change or they will assume it's business as usual. I learned a lesson. I will never ignore so many red flags for the sake of convenience. Avoid this business like the plague. The owner needs a lesson in customer service and how to treat people in general. (I've added the photos of the rodent damage done to my boat the second time during winter storage and photos of where they soaked my boat cover in a Dextron-like fluid by throwing it on the shop floor. If you want to be treated poorly, Retzlaff Marine is your place.)

Awful! They don't…read morecall customers with updates. They don't return calls. Their tech is clueless. They had my boat for over 3 months this summer. Twice they told me it was fixed but in less than an hour on the water, the same problem arose both times. It was finally fixed after I called the engine manufacturer and had the corporate service director contact the dealership to walk them through the repair. Awful! Do not use. Ever!

Went here because it was listed as one of the best playgrounds in the MKE metro, and it is indeed…read morethat. All wood, and lots of twists and turns, but fenced in so you can't lose the kids too easily.good amount of parking, but nice bike/walking access through the Lake Country and Ice Age trails. Clean bathrooms. Nice view of the Bark River. Definitely worth a trip out here, plus Delafield is a cute town.

tl;dr A gorgeous 8.8 acre park filled with history, giant shade trees, the gentle pleasant sound of…read morewater as it moves along in the Bark River, a crazy unique wooden playground themed after a fort, multiple war memorials, huge shade trees, and a bathroom with drinking fountain. The playground is titled 'Fort Cushing' and is an all wood structure, with primarily a mulch surface and a few minor spots with a rubber surface. Within the playground there are separated areas for the little kids side and the big kids side. The little kids side is fairly small, and consists of two slides, a sandpit, and a few swings. Safety note, the baby swings are crazy high off of the ground since the mulch has been worn down so much, so make sure your kiddo is secured as it would be a huge drop. The big kids side has a variety of slides, bridges, monkey bars, giant tires to climb through as well as a tire swing, and more. Note: The drop off of the covered twist slide also has a huge drop at the end from the worn down mulch. It's definitely a unique playground but if you have little kids you can't trust yet on their own you'll definitely have to be flexible and fast to get through it all. There is a huge open area filled with mature shade trees, a tall monument dedicated to the three Cushing Brothers, as well as an obelisk, and a few other memorials. The park is also situated along the Glacial Drumlin Trail. Oh, and dogs are allowed here! Plus, they have bags available for cleanup. If you're in the area, this park is definitely worth the stop!
