We reserved a slip for our boat online with ease. The marina had 50 amp and 30 amp power pedestal. But there was no water hookup at all--which seemed really strange. The docks were in fair condition, a little worn. Some rub rails had become detached and were hanging from the dock. 10' depth was seen through the breakwater entrance to the slip. Overall, an excellent value for the prime location to Milwaukee. Would stay here again.

Vibrant,clean ,wonderful. People fishing in the calm water of the little lake next to the GreatLake. People jogging, striking children, longboarding. Music artists filming videos, and people enjoying the red lighthouse! Free parking amazing view of the city, the Art Museum and the nearby bridge. The colors on the sky for the sunset, with the shadows... Thanks Milwaukee!

Beautiful park on the shores of Lake Michigan just outside of MKE. This park had a plethora of activities and miles of trails to bike, run or walk. I highly recommend this safe park for the whole family no matter the time of day.
