Description

Added by Andy Merkel

Just like you are walking through the Wisconsin Dells, but right here in Menomonee Falls!

Park right behind Main Street, and you can go on trails on either side of the river, or you can get your rain boots on and go through the river and see these bluffs with your own eyes up close. This is truly a hidden gem here in Menomonee Falls and you will be one of the few people that will discover it!

There are 3 waterfalls here, mostly under 5 ft high, see if you can find them all!

The trail isn't that long so you can get very creative in a short amount of time here, this is perfect for long walks, photo shoots, or just general exploring!
