Seven Bridges in the Fall

I absolutely love fall! The flavors of apples, pumpkins, and the occasional hot chocolate….the fluffy sweatshirts…bonfires…and, best of all: the gorgeous fall colors!

A few days ago, I took a little excursion that I really need to do more often – visiting Seven Bridges Trail in Milwaukee. Seven Bridges is actually part of Grant Park, but good ‘ole Google can help you get there using the name Seven Bridges.

There are a few options for where your trails can lead you, but I always start here:

There’s a little parking lot along the road in front of this area. However, since there’s not a lot of parking, I would imagine it probably fills up pretty often. If you continue down the road, there is a much bigger parking lot, and access to the trail there as well.

No matter where you start the trail from, you will end up going over many bridges. The trail is fun for kids as well. The area is beautiful in any season, but I love it in the fall. You can even find yourself walking along the shore of Lake Michigan if you so choose! Be careful if there has been a lot of rain, though, as the trail does get muddy.

Here’s the map from the Milwaukee Parks page (https://county.milwaukee.gov/files/county/parks-department/Park-Maps/7bridgesmap.pdf):

Enjoy the trail and hopefully you see views like this when you go!
