Seven Bridges Trail seems like an enchanted forest located off the shores of Lake Michigan just south of Milwaukee. Its towering trees and flowing streams sprawl throughout acres of stunning landscapes. Cross over the seven bridges and experience the beauty of the trees around you.
Placed along the Lake Michigan lakeshore in Grant Park about 10 minutes south of Downtown Milwaukee, Seven Bridges Trail offers beautiful scenery that seems like something out of a fairy tail. The trail begins at the the Covered Bridge Entrance which you can access by entering off of Grant Park Drive and Lake Drive. You'll find a parking lot about 1/8th of a mile down the road. Once you cross through the bridge entrance, you'll hit the Main Loop, part of the whole Seven Lions Trail. Admission is free as it is a city park. Bring your camera and some decent hiking shoes and head through the trail to explore! There are several trail sections that you can head down to see more.

I live close enough to go multi times a year. I love it

We took 3 kids: 10, 8 & 5 plus a grandma and they all enjoyed this hike. Bridges, streams, wooded areas, sloping even trails all leading to a beach of Lake Michigan.

This is a very cool spot right next to the city. We visited it during the winter, the area looked very cool with snow and frozen streams. The trail leads right to the shoreline as well. The ice shoves looked awesome. But beware, everything was extremely icy, so take caution. Definitely going to return for a visit in the summer.

Seven Bridges truly feels like you've stepped into some kind of fairyland. The twisting paths and old, rustic bridges make you feel like you've been transported into some sort of magical world. Even the entrance bridge has a story about entering into the woods and experiencing the haunts that are in store. I've always loved coming here and won't stop any time soon!
