Description

Added by Andy Merkel

Who said the suburbs don't have their adventures? Elm Grove park has a 1 mile paved loop around the perimeter of the park, and a 0.5 mile path around the pond. There is also a sledding hill in the winter that turns into a hiking hill in the summer!

Elm Grove Park is one of the most picture perfect parks in the SE WI area, so be sure to stay for sunset as the sky lights up! The 1 mile long trail wraps the perimeter of the park. It is paved the entire way, if you want to venture off trail feel free. Dogs are permitted at this park! There is a sledding hill near the north end of the trail that you can climb during all seasons which offers a panoramic view of the park, see the photos for this view!

Where to park:

By the baseball diamonds
By the swimming pool
By the library

Hike around the Lake at Menomonee Park

Hiking around this lake at all times of the year is fun. You can park by the beach on any side of the lake and you are greeted with breathtaking views of Menomonee Park's pond, or "Lannon Quarry" as others have called it. It will take you about 30 minutes to hike the whole thing if you are exploring the entire lake, see my photos for a map of the lake. Make sure you walk all the way out onto th...

Hike through the Menomonee River at Lime Kiln Park

Park right behind Main Street, and you can go on trails on either side of the river, or you can get your rain boots on and go through the river and see these bluffs with your own eyes up close. This is truly a hidden gem here in Menomonee Falls and you will be one of the few people that will discover it! There are 3 waterfalls here, mostly under 5 ft high, see if you can find them all! The tra...
