The Ozaukee county mountain bike group keeps the public up to date on their face book page for trail work and group rides. They have also hosted mountain bike classes at this location. The beginner loop has easy grass and dirt trails to maneuver with few rocks. The intermediate has both hills, rock features and wood to ride over. The advanced loop has berms, bridges, rock features, hills and difficult features have alternates if they aren't for you. The best part about this park is that each loop has easy off access so you can do one or two.. Or all. This park is also home to snow biking in winter, snow showing and hiking trails year round! The hiking trail hosts a large pond and a wooden plank walk with a observation tower overlooking the park from a hill. The fee is free and there is bathroom facilities and a pavilion to park yourself for a lunch after a long ride. Once you master this park then your ready for green bush or any other challenge that faces you! Ride on!!!

Venture in maybe three minutes and you can pick up the path that hugs the waterfront from an elevation, offering stunning views of Lake Michigan. You can also venture down to the shore itself, there are a few steep dirt paths that will take you all the way down. Definitely a great spot for being in nature when the weather agrees!

It's such a peaceful time, perfect for bird watching, biking, walking, running, sight seeing, etc. Each bridge is fun to walk on and give you different sights of the south side and downtown area.

I've taken some of my clients with the youngest being 8 and she absolutely loved it, the hills, the animals, and the water. Definitely recommend for nature lovers.

On a cool overcast Friday afternoon my faithful co-explorer and I arrived at Tendrick Nature Park…read moreready to explore the area. Location 3919 Co Hwy O, Saukville, WI 53080 Size 122 acres. Description Prairie/Wetland. When you enter, you are greeted by vast rolling hills of greenery. A cute little Gazebo sits at the entrance to the hiking area. A pond it directly in front of the path. We began meandering our why through. Once you get a little farther on the trail you come upon a huge hill filled to the brim with wildflowers. Every color you can imagine. Flanked on the west side are lush trees. Tons of biodiversity. We continued on to the boardwalk area. It takes you through the swamp which is actually very beautiful. It's like a painting. Alas, my faithful co-explorer, Vixen did not understand that swamps were not solid ground and plunged herself into it. The remainder of the walk was free of her shenanigans. The paths are easy to follow and walk. I could spend hours here, just appreciating all the beauty. Be Aware Had a touch of trouble finding the place. The park is split up into two sites and it's difficult to make out on the maps. The first park has archery and kayak/canoe launch and no trails for walking that I could see. I circled the park three times before I left and was able to locate the second park a bit up the road on the opposite side as the first site. Also, they describe the walking paths as a boardwalk. Yes, there is a boardwalk in the deepest parts of the swamp, however, getting to the boardwalk you will need to transverse very wet, soggy ground. I would highly recommend waterproofing your shoes if you don't want sopping wet feet. The actual path was a bit difficult to find. It isn't marked. So you start following a concrete path that leads you around a small pond. After wandering around I detoured off the concrete path to the east towards what looked like it might be a trail. Bingo. Dog Friendly? Yep, Vixen was with me leading the charge! Please keep dogs on a leash. This is not a dog park. Points of Interest My main reason for going is to enjoy all the flora. While there we found Coneflowers, Black Eyed Susans, Bergamot, Milk Vetch, Highbush Cranberries, False Sunflowers, Turtlehead flowers, Jewelweed, Partridge Pea and a HUGE old Oak. Additionally, this park has disc golf, volleyball, archery, and a canoe launch. Vixens Thoughts Two paws up. Swamps are confusing. I didn't like it. The rest of the walk was A-OK. Lots of sniffs. Only one Gila Monster. (She's a big ole chicken, she thinks frogs are Gila Monsters to be fearful of.

My husband and I were recently scouting great kayak locations and secondarily solid fishing locales…read morefor my dad. Our scouting trip brought us (aptly) to Scout Lake Park. For our purpose (kayaking), it's a no-go. It's has more of a pond vibe (both in size and wildlife) and just really isn't a good spot for kayaking (or paddleboarding for that matter). There are signs that say no boats (not sure if that includes kayaks). All in all, it's just not the best spot for it. There is a platform/dock that extends over the lake that we saw some folks fishing from it while we were there. There are a couple benches for sitting while fishing or you could easily bring your own chairs as well. I read that they stock the lake with fish so could be a nice spot for that. My dad is more into fishing from the banks and the foliage at the banks here makes this not the best spot for that either. That said it is a lovely lake and there's a pretty nice trail that extends around it that would be good for either biking or walking. We walked it while we were there and it doesn't take very long to traverse the entire loop around the lake and the views of the lily pad adorned lake were lovely. One note I'll make is that there was an unfortunate amount of trash in the lake near the doc which was such a bummer. But, beyond that sad note--a great spot for an evening stroll.
