LAKESHORE STATE PARK
Lakeshore State Park is located on the eastern edge of the Historic Third Ward on the shores of Lake Michigan. It is nearly surrounded by water, connecting to Discovery World via a beautiful footbridge.
The 22-acre park is Wisconsin’s only urban state park. It provides an urban oasis for walkers, runners, cyclists, anglers and more, to get away from the noise and bustle of the city — and take in the quiet, expansive views of Lake Michigan, as well as the city skyline. The accessible, paved trail twists past prairie restorations, native flowering plants, a watercraft beach area and connects to the Hank Aaron and Oak Leaf state trails.
