About:

The Waukesha/Milwaukee County County IATA Chapter is offering a series of Weekender Hikes. These hikes take place on one Saturday morning a month for the remainder of the year meeting at 10:00 a.m.  Hike details will be available on the IATA Calendar and on the Waukesha/Milwaukee IAT Chapter Facebook page.  Notice! There is a topic/theme for each hike. All are welcome to bring information, stories, and trivia to share before, during, and/or after the hike.

The Hike:

Join us for a weekend walk on the Blue Spring Lake Segment in Jefferson County. We will hike a loop using the Bald Bluff Nature Trail to the Blue Springs Lake Segment to the Stone Elephant, then take the trail behind the Stone Elephant to the horse/snowmobile trail to reconnect with the Blue Springs and Bald Bluff trails to return to the parking lot. Our discussion theme is the History of Blue Spring Lake.

Details:

The hike will be about 4 miles, and of medium difficulty. There are some moderate hills so hiking poles will be helpful. Bring water and dress appropriately for the weather. We will cancel if weather or conditions are unsafe. For your safety during hunting season, wear blaze orange or other bright colors. Dogs are welcome but must be leashed and cleaned up after.

Location:

Look for the IAT event sign as you approach each hike event and park at the Bald Bluff Scenic Overlook parking lot. This parking lot will fit 12-15 cars parked smartly; roadside parking is available south of the lot (north of the lot says private property).

Contact Information:

Questions or comments can be made through our  Waukesha/Milwaukee IAT Chapter Facebook page or through our chapter email.
