by AmericanTrails.org
East Bank Trail: This 0.75-mile urban trail features local artwork and has provided a new way to enjoy the Milwaukee River, offering ample opportunities for wildlife viewing, hiking, biking, and kayaking (designated 2007). Jacobus Park Nature Trail: This .9-mile hiking and biking loop trail takes visitors through a woodland island in Metropolitan Milwaukee and provides a unique natural outdoor classroom for area school children (designated 2006).
Seven Bridges Trail — This 2-mile nature trail is a focal point of Grant Park, one of the oldest parks in Milwaukee County. This unique trail contains a series of bridges and walkways routed through a set of ravines that bisect the park, exemplifying the grand vision of the early 20th century Milwaukee County Park Commission to provide a well designed natural oasis amid the expansion of the city. The trail draws thousands of visitors from the Milwaukee area and beyond, including school groups who visit the trail to study nature. The park hosts a wide variety of native flora, such as yellow birch trees and trout lilies, as well as many migratory birds. In addition to its natural resources, the trail offers access to Lake Michigan and allows for recreational activities such as hiking, wildlife observation, and photography (designated 2005). We frequently add NRT information, photos and maps to these pages. Send suggestions and information requests to American Trails. Research additional NRTs in the NRT database.
