Description

Added by Andy Merkel

With trails, sledding hills, lake access, and rows and rows of pine trees, this park has everything!

This park has 5 trails ranging from 0.5 mile to 2 miles long which vary terrain, elevation, and scenery. There are plenty of amazing views here, especially as the sun is about to set. You can bring your dog, bring a picnic, and cross country ski in the winter!

Park is open year-round

Hike around the Lake at Menomonee Park

It will take you about 30 minutes to hike the whole thing if you are exploring the entire lake, see my photos for a map of the lake. Make sure you walk all the way out onto th...

Hike through the Menomonee River at Lime Kiln Park

Park right behind Main Street, and you can go on trails on either side of the river, or you can get your rain boots on and go through the river and see these bluffs with your own eyes up close.
