Did you know that we have a State Forest located right here in Milwaukee? Havenwoods State Forest is Wisconsin’s only urban state forest, featuring 237 acres of grasslands, woods and wetlands in the city of Milwaukee. Hike, run, bike and watch wildlife on over 6 miles of trails. Explore the nature center, the forest's ponds, stroll over the 120-foot bridge or find a bench to sit and relax outdoors.
