North Wahl Avenue Lakefront and North Point Lighthouse

Bradford Beach

Highlight • Beach

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.

McKinley Beach

Highlight • Beach

This beach, constructed in 1989, serves dual purposes: as a recreational area and a barrier between the lake and the road, addressing the fluctuating water levels. The views from here, overlooking the lake and Government Pier, are stunning.

Allen-Bradley Clock Tower

Highlight • Monument

The Allen-Bradley Clock Tower, owned by Allen-Bradley, a product brand of Rockwell Automation, has long been a landmark in Milwaukee. According to the Guinness Book of World Records: "The largest four-faced clock is that on the research and office addition of the Allen-Bradley Company. Each face has a diameter of 40 feet, 3-1/2 inches. Dedicated on October 31, 1962, it rises 280 feet from the streets of Milwaukee, and requires 34.6 kilowatts of electricity for lighting and power." It has since been surpassed by the 141-foot clock faces of the Abraj Al Bait.

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!
