Description

Added by Andy Merkel

One of Waukesha County's parks located right on Nagawicka Lake offers breathtaking views at sunset!

A great park that you can park nearby the lake (down by the boat launch), or park in the designated parking lot and take the boardwalk down to the lake, you can't go wrong with these views.

There is a looped trail that goes from the boat launch, along the lake all the way to the beach. This a great area that you can start your view of the gorgeous sunset and then slowly meander back to the car and enjoy the show that the sunset will put on!
