About this adventure
A Milwaukee County nature center inside 660-acre Whitnall Park, adjoining the Root River Parkway. Five miles of trails cross five actively managed habitats on a 220-acre property around Mallard Lake: the 1-mile All Abilities Loop and 1.5-mile Lake Loop are rated easy, the Grasslands Loop moderate, and there is also a Woodland Loop, a boardwalk, a waterfall, an accessible pier, an observation blind and a nature play space. Snowshoes can be rented during business hours when conditions allow, first come, first served. Wehr is pack-it-in, pack-it-out with no picnic tables; pets, bikes, foraging, boating and fishing are not allowed.
