The bridge was built by the Town of Cedarburg to replace a number of periodically washed out bridges. Pine logs were cut and milled in Baraboo, fitted into place in a lattice truss construction with 3x10 inch planks secured by 2 inch hardwood pins, eliminating the use of nails or bolts, and floored by 3 inch planking. The Ozaukee County Board in 1940 coted to assume the preservation and maintenance of the bridge. While the bridge is not open for vehicular traffic and there is a concrete and steel bridge adjacent, you can absolutely walk the bridge or even bicycle it. The nearby park has benches and picnic tables and a building with a picnic shelter complete with power outlets and public restrooms. There's plenty of space in the park to spread out and enjoy the second, smaller bridge. Plenty of parking. This is a great spot for your photo ops and in fact a couple was getting their engagement photos done here when I visited. [Review 20675 overall - 245 in Wisconsin - 1656 of 2023.]

We made our most recent visit during their annual 4th of July festival which is always a great time. They have a whole bunch of local food vendors, a few bars set up around the park, little activities for the kids, plenty of seating, and live music all day. So great! While here our kids of course wanted to make the trek across the park to the playground they saw in the distance. And boy were we so pleasantly surprised at the brand new set up! Previously, it was rickety, wooden and old. Now they're set up has the squishy flooring and all new play-spaces, slides, and swings. To kids, they might not care much either way, but to parents, it's a luxury to have a playground that's update because it means it's safer. In any case, we'll certainly return for this, if not the beautiful beach area too.

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!

The inflatables are HUGE--slides, climbing spots, and even a swing that had us laughing like kids. The whole area is great for a full day out. There are picnic tables if you want to bring lunch, a concessions stand for snacks, a splash pad for the little ones, and a regular swimming area if you just want to relax. Everything felt clean and well-maintained, and the staff was super friendly and safety-focused (life jackets for everyone). At $8 per person for a two-hour session, it's such an affordable family outing compared to other water attractions. We'll definitely be back--it's the perfect mix of fun, exercise, and summer vibes

On a cool overcast Friday afternoon my faithful co-explorer and I arrived at Tendrick Nature Park…read moreready to explore the area. Location 3919 Co Hwy O, Saukville, WI 53080 Size 122 acres. Description Prairie/Wetland. When you enter, you are greeted by vast rolling hills of greenery. A cute little Gazebo sits at the entrance to the hiking area. A pond it directly in front of the path. We began meandering our why through. Once you get a little farther on the trail you come upon a huge hill filled to the brim with wildflowers. Every color you can imagine. Flanked on the west side are lush trees. Tons of biodiversity. We continued on to the boardwalk area. It takes you through the swamp which is actually very beautiful. It's like a painting. Alas, my faithful co-explorer, Vixen did not understand that swamps were not solid ground and plunged herself into it. The remainder of the walk was free of her shenanigans. The paths are easy to follow and walk. I could spend hours here, just appreciating all the beauty. Be Aware Had a touch of trouble finding the place. The park is split up into two sites and it's difficult to make out on the maps. The first park has archery and kayak/canoe launch and no trails for walking that I could see. I circled the park three times before I left and was able to locate the second park a bit up the road on the opposite side as the first site. Also, they describe the walking paths as a boardwalk. Yes, there is a boardwalk in the deepest parts of the swamp, however, getting to the boardwalk you will need to transverse very wet, soggy ground. I would highly recommend waterproofing your shoes if you don't want sopping wet feet. The actual path was a bit difficult to find. It isn't marked. So you start following a concrete path that leads you around a small pond. After wandering around I detoured off the concrete path to the east towards what looked like it might be a trail. Bingo. Dog Friendly? Yep, Vixen was with me leading the charge! Please keep dogs on a leash. This is not a dog park. Points of Interest My main reason for going is to enjoy all the flora. While there we found Coneflowers, Black Eyed Susans, Bergamot, Milk Vetch, Highbush Cranberries, False Sunflowers, Turtlehead flowers, Jewelweed, Partridge Pea and a HUGE old Oak. Additionally, this park has disc golf, volleyball, archery, and a canoe launch. Vixens Thoughts Two paws up. Swamps are confusing. I didn't like it. The rest of the walk was A-OK. Lots of sniffs. Only one Gila Monster. (She's a big ole chicken, she thinks frogs are Gila Monsters to be fearful of.
