I was here to check out the Cedarburg Covered Bridge but I also took the time to walk around this…read morelovely park. So let's combine both into one and here we are. 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.]

A wonderful little walking trail off the beaten path…read more Beautiful scenery and a handy parking lot make this a great little get away in which to enjoy nature. 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!

Main path is a loop so it brings you right back to the parking lot no chance of getting lost. Center path connects to the main path. River runs on one side. Lovely park no playground equipment for children just for walking and sightseeing.

When we visit our son, we are always looking for new dog parks to try with our grand dog. Homestead…read moreHollow was a nice one. There are two areas, separating large and small dogs. The large dog area had a big open space for socializing and play. It also had some agility equipment, so if you want to train your dog on an apparatus, this is the place to do it. In the large dog area, there are also some trails to enjoy with beautiful wild flowers. After the dog park, we walked around the outer edge of the full park which was wooded and mostly dirt trails (some paved near the entrance). You need a park pass to enter and we bought a day pass for $7. It was a nice stop!

Oh my gosh what a fabulous new playground in Grafton! I think it opened last year (?) but recently…read morewe made our first visit after seeing it shared online. It's so vast, colorful, and inviting to kids of all ages. We have a toddler, and our nephew who is a similar age, was also with us. Sometimes playgrounds can be a little too high/advanced for their age, but All My Friends Playground has a wide selection of areas to play on, including lower and less intense obstacles. Tons of slides and swings, climbing gyms, merry go round, teeter totter, and more. Plus there is a massive (and wonderfully colorful) butterfly that spreads shade over the middle of the playground. Other great parts about this park: it's completely fenced in by a lovely pickets that are all engraved by local families. It keeps all the kiddos safe and contained. Also the squishy flooring is a huge plus. It's so comfy to run around on and makes for a safer place if anyone falls. Really love the creativity and fun that went into creating this new play area. Thanks Grafton, we'll be back!

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!

My son attended 'garden summer camp' here recently and he absolutely loved it. For context, he's four years old and the camp was 3 hours each morning for a week. His camp leaders were so sweet. He and the rest of the kiddos were able to explore so many different trails, discovered bugs and animals, and did daily crafts. Beyond camps and classes, you can attend various events and exhibitions here, or simply come to walk and explore the grounds. Very relaxing nature spot!

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.

Garrison's Glen - A lovely tribute and gesture to a young man who passed away…read more Location 2231 Pioneer Road - Mequon, WI 53092 Size 22 Acres Description This is a nice park if you are looking for a short walk. But even though it's small, treasures for the eyes await visitors. The paths are well maintained grass paths. They keep them mowed very well. They have bird houses within in the glen erected. There can be quite a bit of activity from birds so it's a great place to bird watch if that's your jam, or jelly. Tons of trees, most I cannot identify because I've never bothered to learn. But! It is an excellent mix of old trees and newer trees. There are some absolutely stunning trees to see. I took pictures but it doesn't do it justice. This property has maybe 4-5 paths you can take which often overlap one another. It's very peaceful here. There is a large bog? Swamp? Marsh? Wetland? Whatever the proper nomenclature is. There is a big really, really , really wet area in the middle with lots of wetland plants. Points of Interest There is a multitude of plant life. Asters, Wild Cucumber, Jewelweed, False Sunflowers, Horsetail, Golden Alexander, Dogwood with some of the most vibrant red branches I have even seen and grapes. Like, grapes taking over the place. It's Planet of the grapes there. The birds! So many. Be Aware It is always wet. Always. There's a swamp in the middle so be prepared for soggy, muddy ground. There are occasionally branches hanging down in the middle of the walking paths so keep your eyes sharp! Mosquitos - Holy f-ing hell mosquitos. They are more ferocious than strippers in Dothan Alabama. The Entry/Exit way. It is seriously step and there is some erosion from where the asphalt meets the gravel and if you go over it too fast it will cause your car to hit the pavement HARD. Dog Friendly? Yes- As long as you keep them on the leash and clean up after them. They even provide a trash bin at the entrance so you can throw the brown sausages away and not even have to worry about taking them home in your car to dispose. Vixen Says There were no gila monsters, so that gets a paw up. Lots of good sniffs, another paw awarded. Delicious  grass so another paw. Three paws and a bark!
