My best friend surprised me with a visit to this beautiful park,(he read my mind)my best friend and I, enjoyed the trails, the sand and water!We ran across the sand ( what a workout!) the trails were nice, unless you got a part that was to deep to enter, it was really sunny but windy, the day we went we were on the water edge until the water pushed you back ...we got wet! we didnt move faster enough (gotta be quicker than that!)It was an cherry on top day made only better by the amazing company of my best friend!

We LOVE and visit this little gem often. A quick hike down leads you to a beautiful stretch of rocky beachfront. We enjoy looking at the beautiful rocks and searching for sea glass. Amazing views and if youre brave enough to take a dip, its refreshing! :)

Grant Park is one of my favorite parks to go and enjoy nature. Nice views for photographs and wooded trails to walk along to refresh the mind.

Epic park. 7 sexy bridges. Nice trails. Bathrooms are ok. Decent for biking, hiking, or running!

Growing up in Milwaukee I always felt like Grant Park was a magical world of adventure, especially the 7 bridges trail. I was happy to acquaint my boys with that very trail recently. My past experiences have generally been. During the summer but due to the last spring, when we went we were able to see a lot of spring flowers we dont typically see; trillion, geraniums, Jack in the pulpits. This is just a tiny portion of a huge park on Lake Michigan. So glad this land was set aside as a wonderful county park.

I have been coming to Grant Park for the last 30+ years and its always clean and family friendly. I rode my bike from Bayview to the beach, picture is from the pier on the south end of beach. This is my first visit during the pandemic, Id estimate that half of people therr wore masks.it was easy to stay socially distanced.

We have the chance to visit this park during a snowstorm. It made for beautiful looks splashing waves and brought other characteristics out of the park that you wouldnt see normally on a sunny day. This would be a great place to have a picnic a family reunion a walk with your dog or anything else that might be relaxing in the sun or trees. Enjoy views of lake Michigan walk on the sandy beach even place a lock on the lock chain at the pier.

Cliff observatory 1 is great. It overlooks the lake. It was so calm today. The picknink shelter nearby is also good, it has gargoyles carved in the lintels. Thats really interesting.

Its a pleasant quiet place. The facilities are good when the food is available. The problem is no boat launch. The county porta-poties are not kept up. There should be more of them.

Charming entrance that made me feel like I was in a studio ghibli movie. The the rest of the park was huge with so many trails it was kinda overwhelming, which I loved.

One of the best parks in the Milwaukee area. Good trails and access to the lake. Excellent picnic areas. And plenty of open fields for activities. Biking is excellent here. Ive been going there since I was a kid. Definitely recommend.

The beach itself is very beautiful. If youre going in the water make sure you have the sock water shoes as there are alot of sharp rocks. This place does have beach chair rentals for a price as we found out the hard way, because we used them and the beach KAREN Police came for us overall its a good place. Lots of parking if you get there early

Always beautiful and clean. Its getting so much better. What ever the city is doing great job and Im noticing new play grounds for kids but just wish parking was a little closer with them just because of the kids.and maybe bathroom stations too. Could use more trash can to help keep our park clean for years to come. Please fix the roads, for years they have been so bad.

Excellent park! So many trails to walk on besides the 7 bridges. Such a beautiful park to enjoy nature go golfing go play volleyball on the beach. Walk out to the pier,skip some rocks. So many beautiful birds in the botanical area. You can easily lose track of time. Watching the waterfall that feeds the numerous creeks in the park. The rest areas are so clean. So many soccer fields and the tennis courts are in a perfect location hidden off in the park. Plenty places to park and go for a walk. Definitely one of the best parks in Milwaukee County.

The only thing I hated was some people destroy the beautiful bridges and trails. Its disgusting when you find garbage along the trails and a baby diaper by the old fountain. Broken glass along the beach.

Good place to play golf. Drains well in inclement weather. Staff is nice. Would be nice to have a beverage cart year round. Able to use all clubs in your bag. Position on this course is most important.

Beautiful, wooded trails on the shores of Lake Michigan. The ravine is traversed by seven bridges. There is also a golf course and beach.

Review №63

A popular destination, and for good reason. Well maintained trails and plenty of options to pick from. The Grant Park Beach area is quite nice and worthy of a stroll up and down with your shoes off. With the right weather a swim would be nice too! Trails could be muddy after heavy rains to keep this in mind when you visit.

Always an Enjoyable TimeThe walk through the ravine from the parking lot to the lake is a favorite. Its easy to imagine not being in a metropolitan area. The area is usually not crowded, so spending a few minutes with nature is possible. One of my favorites is to skip flat stones once I get to the beach.

Not like it used to be in 1980 s just plain dirty. They do have a place to order food. Which I was very surprised! The food was very good, a little on the high side.

Great place to park if you want to walk to the seven bridges area. There are some less traveled (and less up kept trails) if you hang by the water for walking in that direction. Restrooms are currently closed due to covid.
