Bike Riding the Oak Leaf Trail - South Shore Line

Date: Saturday, July 30

Time: 9 a.m. we start riding, plan to be back at 11:30 a.m.

Location: South Shore Park, 2900 S Shore Dr, Milwaukee, WI 53207

Join us for a 12-mile bike ride on the Oak Leaf Trail's beautiful South Shore Line. We will start at 9 a.m., meeting at South Shore Park at the Beer Garden benches right on the lake by the large building.

The first leg of our ride will be a 6-mile ride south to the Seven Bridges trail in South Milwaukee. The trail is paved and runs right along the lake but also through several forested areas with beautiful scenery. At Seven Bridges we will stop for a break for water and snacks, if you'd like to bring any of your own. From there we will head back north on the trail to South Shore Park. Heading north on the trail provides stunning views of the city and Hoan Bridge. We will plan to finish our ride around 11:30 a.m.

Bring your own bike, sunscreen, sunglasses, and water, and a small backpack for a larger water bottle and snacks if you'd like to bring any.
