## About

Riveredge waives its trail fees for a community day, so families can hike any of the nature center's 10 miles of trails along the Milwaukee River for free. Pick up a trail map at the trailhead kiosk or download one, stop by the Visitor Center to learn what to look for, or join the free Welcome Hike at 11 a.m. for an introduction to the land's history and favorite spots. An all-terrain Action Trackchair is available to reserve at no cost. Trails are open dawn to dusk; no registration needed.
