Milwaukee in autumn, explore Milwaukee’s scenic outdoors
Milwaukee’s outdoor spaces come alive in the fall, offering stunning backdrops for activities. With parks like Lakeshore State Park and the Milwaukee County Zoo’s expansive grounds, the city provides ample opportunities to soak in the autumn scenery.
Local photographer Michael of Mb Squared Photography shares, “For all you nature lovers out there, be sure to add Seven Bridges Nature Trail at Grant Park, in South Milwaukee, to your fall adventures list. This isn’t a huge trail, though just the right size for an afternoon with the entire family. Fall is by far my favorite time of the year to wander its trails. From the parking lot(s) down through the woods, wander the seven bridges, to the edge of Lake Michigan. It’s so secluded you’ll almost forget you’re ten minutes from the city. It’s certainly one of my favorite Milwaukee sights.”
