It's your choice. The guide is also available at area bike shops . The map outlines the 90-mile Milwaukee County Oak Leaf Trail. It can, in many cases, guide you from your suburban home all the way into the city. Or you can just cycle from one side of Milwaukee to the other via marked trails that run through parks, along the lakefront, down 2nd St. and all the way through to Grant Park, which technically is in South Milwaukee.
Signs mark the trail.
Right now the trail goes east from County Stadium and Miller Park for about a mile then dead-ends. Officially known as the Henry Aaron State Park Bike Trail, the new trail eventually will run along the south bank of the Menomonee River from 27th St. to County Stadium and Miller Park. You can pick up the Oak Leaf trail as far north at Dretzka Park Golf Course, as far west as Greenfield Park on the Root River Parkway and as far south as Grant Park. The bike route eventually loops all of Milwaukee County and connects with the routes that go into commerce centers. Be sure to bike the lakefront - early mornings and late afternoons are the most picturesque times.
