Waukesha/Milwaukee County Chapter: Wee Walkers National Night Out Kickoff Hike

August 3, 2023 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm

View of the Nixon Park bridge along the Hartland Segment of the IAT.

About:

Hartland became Wisconsin’s first Ice Age Trail Community in 2015, and this walking club was formed to bring people — both adults and “Wee Walkers” — together to enjoy the trail, community, and each other.

The Walk:

Join us for an out and back hike ahead of Hartland’s National Night Out festivities! We are crossing our fingers for a Monty the Mammoth sighting, and we’ll have you back in time to enjoy all the fun at Nixon Park, including a live performance by Fat Andy, a fun and family-friendly band featuring a frequent attendee of our Wee Walkers hikes! Check their Facebook page for updates.

Details:

We will head to Penbrook Park and back for a total of 1.5-2 miles on this stroller-friendly hike. Families may adjust the distance by turning back early or continuing on the Penbrook Park trails. Please dress for the weather and consider bringing water and snacks. If conditions are unsafe we will cancel. Walks are led by almost-6-year-old Simon, 4-year-old Ophelia, 1.5-year-old Rhea, and their mom, Christina, an Ice Age Trail volunteer (and kid at heart). All ages are welcome; kids must be accompanied by an adult. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are also welcome.

Christina Callies and the Hartland Recreation Department organized this hike. There is no fee for this activity.

Location:

If we arrive early, we will be playing at Nixon Park’s playground, but we will gather at the kiosk to start our hike.
