Milwaukee RiverWalk

Highlight • Trail

Read the chronicles of Milwaukee from 1846 to 1983 in the wooden floor of the pathway. What an idea, what an effort!

View of Lake Michigan from North Wahl Avenue

Highlight • Viewpoint

Although not much of the beach can be seen from here, it is still a nice lookout point to Lake Michigan. We were presented with rich colors on our visit in autumn.

Bradford Beach is an open, sandy beach just off the side of the Oak Leaf Trail. You pass a number of beaches as you bike along the paved path, and Bradford Beach is the biggest with the most amenities. If you are wanting views of the bay and ferry, this is a great spot for that, too.

General Douglas MacArthur Statue

Highlight • Monument

General MacArthur was the top cadet of West Point's 1903 class. This sculpture honors him for his leadership in the Pacific during World War II. MacArthur, his father, and his grandfather were all Milwaukee residents. His last visit to the city was on April 27, 1951, when he received an honorary degree from Marquette University.

Milwaukee Art Museum

Highlight • Monument

A great art museum that presents art chronologically from antiquity to the present day. The focus here is on American art from the 19th century to the modern age. There is also a lot of German art. Impressive architecture!
