(Before You Die) ::BY DAVID LUHRSSEN
All those craft breweries that have sprung up in the last few years might be reason enough for a second edition of that breezy guidebook, 100 Things to Do in Milwaukee Before You Die. The new version, by local writer Jenna Kashou, affords a decent cross-section of things to see and do in town: everything from eating a lobster roll (do lobsters live in the Kinnickinnic River?) at St. Paul’s Fish Market to catching a band at Shank Hall (she commends the “eclectic lineup”). Many major museums and local landmarks are duly noted, as are hip choices such as Bay View’s Brass Rooster hat shop and Rushmor Records, as well as socially conscious choices like the Urban Ecology Center. Don’t know about you, but I’ve never met anyone whose bucket list includes Madison, Wis. So, with that firmly in mind, the title of 100 Things to Do in Madison sounds like overkill. Madison can be an excellent daytrip, but let’s just leave the death part out of it. In the new second edition, Madison writer Katie Vaughn confesses having trouble confining herself to 100 things. Yes, we know, Madison is a great place on a great isthmus with one of America’s finest public universities providing a steady influx of hip and trendy. It has food festivals and restaurants, rock clubs and concert halls. They don’t have the State Fair (that’s ours), but they do offer Dane County Fair. There’s even a shop on Capitol Square dedicated to that Wisconsin favorite—cheese. 100 Things to Do in Madison is worth a look for planning a day trip (or overnighter) to our state capital.

Enjoy Milwaukee for Free This Summer
Nature Trails and Hiking HAVENWOODS STATE FOREST
Havenwoods State Forest, located between Mill Road and Silver Spring Drive along Sherman Boulevard, has six miles of trails that wind through prairie and trees. Although the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources operates the land, admission is free, and no state parks vehicle sticker is required.
MILWAUKEE COUNTY PARKS various locations
::BY SHEILA JULSON
Hank Aaron State Trail
For a few glorious months each year, Old Man Winter frees Wisconsinites from his icy clutches and let them enjoy some fun in the sun! Luckily, we’ve got lots of free options in Milwaukee County to get outdoors and enjoy healthy doses of nature, arts and culture. Be sure to check Shepherd Express’“This Week In Milwaukee” section every issue to keep up with all the latest news on summer happenings in and around Milwaukee!
LAKESHORE STATE PARK
Walking, Biking and Skating BEERLINE TRAIL
Named for a corridor once used for transporting ingredients to the old breweries in the area, the 3.7-mile asphalt Beerline Trail runs north from Pleasant Street and heads south along the west side of the Milwaukee River thorough Gordon Park, ending just north of Capitol Drive. Users can enjoy the sights and sounds of the lively and thriving Riverwest, Harambee and Brewers Hill neighborhoods along the way.
HANK AARON STATE TRAIL
This 14-mile paved urban trail, named in honor of a Milwaukee Braves and Brewers legend, runs through Milwaukee County starting east from the Lake Michigan shoreline near Discovery World and running west to the Milwaukee-Waukesha county line. Notable sights along the way include Lakeshore State Park, Harley-Davidson Museum, Three Bridges Park, Historic Soldiers’ Home grounds and Milwaukee County Zoo. Public art and colorful murals can be spotted during your ride.
Biggest e Party of th Summer! Camp on-site with hundreds of others on an island on the Mississippi River!
KINNICKINNIC RIVER TRAIL
Although this trail is short (just over two miles), it offers a mixed experience of an on-road bike lane and an off-road paved trail. The trail runs parallel to an active railroad line and goes through Lincoln Village and Bayview. Users can enjoy the wildlife along the Kinnickinnic River, thanks to river restoration efforts by citizens and conservation groups. Formerly Harbor Island, this urban state park is almost completely surrounded by water. A 1.7-mile path lets users enjoy stunning views of the Milwaukee skyline and Lake Michigan. The park hosts 70 species of indigenous and migratory birds each year, and grey and red foxes also call the park home.
OAK LEAF TRAIL
Nearly a quarter of this 125-mile trail hugs the Lake Michigan shoreline, taking users on a picturesque journey throughout Milwaukee County. Nine main branch lines throughout the trail explore areas such as the Menomonee and Root River neighborhoods and South Shore lakefront parks. The Zip Line branches off of the Milwaukee River Line to offer a trafficfree connection from Estabrook Park to Brown Deer Park by following an old rail line.
MOUNTAIN BIKING
Milwaukee County Parks offer four mountain bike trails, ranging from easy to intermediate. These are Kegel Alpha Mountain Bike Trail in Whitnall Park; Hoyt Mountain Bike Trail near Wauwatosa’s Hoyt Park; Oak Hill Mountain Bike
From small neighborhood parks with diverse wildlife to lakefront paradises like Doctors or Grant parks with ravines, flora, fauna and sandy beachfront, Milwaukee County Parks’ trails cover all interests: birding, exploring woodlands or just taking a relaxing reprieve in Nature with a capital “n.”
THREE BRIDGES PARK
With a little help from some passionate citizen volunteers, city officials and public-private partnerships, nature is reclaiming this 24-acre Menomonee River Valley urban retreat that was not long ago a post-industrial desert. The park has two miles of hiking and cycling trails and river access for fishing.
Free Stuff! FREE MUSEUM DAYS
Milwaukee treasures such as the Boerner Botanical Gardens, Milwaukee Public Museum, Mitchell Park Domes and Milwaukee Art Museum have designated free admission days during the week for Milwaukee County residents. Visit county. milwaukee.gov for more information on which locations offer free admittance throughout the summer. Heading into fall, don’t miss free admission day at the Milwaukee County Zoo on Saturday, Oct. 5.
