Beautiful spot in the city to see all kinds of wild life. Good place for little walks especially to take children!

We kayak through here quite often. There is a peer across the river at Villa Grove Park to put the kayak in. It is a beautiful place to kayak quiet and full of bird life. It is above the dam in Thiensville so the river is wide and quiet. It is a hidden gem in a populated area.

There is very little, if any, trail maintenance, the trails are almost always wet, and the parking is nothing more than pulling over on the side of the road. There is a sign next to the trailhead, other than that there are no markers or maps. If you walk all the way back you can join up with a trail that follows the river and is in a little better shape. Assuming it is actually okay to walk the trails, Im not sure at what point things transition from public land to private.

Nice and elegant area

Trail overgrown, not marked.

If around and around is your thing
