The Hank Aaron State Trail runs alongside the Menomonee River, and at this point, you can access a viewpoint with nice views of the river and the small greenbelt surrounding it.

Riding down South Shore Drive is a great way to take in the beautiful views of Downtown Milwaukee and the lake. There's a park and a number of restaurants and cafes to stop at if you'd like to stay a while.

A beautiful path with expansive views of Lake Michigan. A perfect path to cycle on, on a still summers day.

The Abandoned Ladish Sand Pit is often filled in with water and right off of the Oak Creek Trail. Oak Creek runs right behind it, making this spot a nice area to keep an eye out for birds and other wildlife.

Grant Park Drive runs along the coast but is separated from Grant Park Beach by a strip of woodland. There are some trails through the woods so you can access the beach from a number of different places, but the best option is to use the Oak Creak parking lot near Ferch's Beachside Grille. There are plenty of services here such as a playground and café, and you can walk right onto the beach.
