Holy Hill

This shrine sits atop a 1,350 foot tall hill, offering panoramic views of the surrounding area.

Lovely church with great views. The best part is that it's free. One thing I didn't like was all the unwelcoming signs, like be silent and dress appropriately. Other than that, it's nice.

Cedar Creek Winery

Reviewed By Pauline199001 - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I have been going to this winery for years and they have the best wine. They offer wine tasting, up to four wines complementary, after that there is a cost. Their selection is very nice and the prices can’t be beat. They do offer a discount of 10% if you buy a case. The Cranberry Blush is one of my favorites. They also do tours, and the staff is very knowledgeable and very nice. The shop offers unique wine accessories.

Apple Works Winery

Reviewed By unocentavo - Germantown, WI

I stopped at Apple Works Winery with a friend on a Friday evening. Opted for a small cheese tray and a bottle of Red Wine from Chile. The wine was delicious and went well with the cheese selection. We chatted with the server and owners. I will go back again for a pleasant evening.

Held's Meat and Cheese shop

Reviewed By Bernardo F - New York City, New York

Very convenient right off of HWY 41, it's a nice place to pick up some good cheese and meat and the prices are direct from the makers. Service was very friendly and nice, and they'll pack it nicely if you're getting on a plane.

Museum of Wisconsin Art

The MWA houses the state's premier collection of Wisconsin art. It is also home to an unrivaled collection by Milwaukee-born Carl von Marr.Exhibiting historic and contemporary Wisconsin Art.

Reviewed By TheWuch - South Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Even on a cloudy day, this museum stands out for its unique architecture and beautifully displayed art. Your $12 admission is a one year membership. The permanent collection is awe inspiring and the current exhibitions "Romano Johnson: Glitterati" and "Gerit Grimm's Fairytales" are most intriguing. The first large glittery portraits the second intricate clay pieces - both engaging. There's plenty of parking and a lovely gift shop to boot. We'll definitely return.

Ozaukee Interurban Trail

Reviewed By ajbukovitz - Appleton, Wisconsin

This is a great paved bike trail for every type of bike. We biked from Cedarburg to Belgium and back. It was just shy of 40 miles. The trail out of Cedarburg is busy and crosses a lot of roads. Our favorite part of the trail was from Knellsville to Belgium because there are few cross roads and the trail just winds along the edge of farm after farm.

Little Switzerland

Reviewed By DISNEYCHICKS - Wisconsin

Second time to visit Little Switzerland . Brought DD and her friends skiing and snowboarding…
But never seem to make here until the end of the season... hopefully we change that next season.

The chalet/restaurant is great place to hang out if you are not into doing the outdoor adventure that day.

Sitting in the chalet enjoying the sunshine and watching everyone skiing or boarding.. what a great view.

Had a couple cocktails while sitting there ...the bartenders know what they're doing... drinks are fun and the company was nice.

Again with being at the end of the season the snow was pretty good but like I said previous we need to get here when the season is in full swing so my DD can really enjoy the hills.

We have a pass for Nordic they had to close a few weeks ago because of the snow condition... LS offered Nordic season holders a ski free weekend.

I have been to many, MANY state and county parks in southeastern Wisconsin, but I think this one is my favorite because of its size and versatility.

I like the woods here because you can see deep into them; in many wooded areas the shrubby brush and bushy undergrowth is so high, you couldn't see a gnome if he bit you in the ankle. Much of the woods here in Pike Lake is just carpeted with low wildflowers, mayapples and the like, so you can spot that mossy, mushroomy stump. Mostly, it's deciduous, with some oaks (but not dominated by oaks. that would be boring) and aspens, lots of maples, some beech, etc. There are also some lovely stands of fragrant pine.

Of course the woods aren't all there is. Meadows rampant with wildflowers, butterflies and bees. Sandhill cranes, deer, chipmunks. Freshwater springs and little ponds. The big lake with swimming beach, dog beach, public pier, and a little sand launch for your kayak or canoe. Campsites. The tower. That tree that was bent long ago by native Americans marking the path. A ranger station where you can pick up a map or use a nice clean civilized toilet. Remnants, if you know where to look, of long-ago farms. Snowmobile trails. Boardwalk through the swamp--know how nice it is to see pretty skunk cabbage growing in February when your heart is weary from Wisconsin winter? A lovely segment of the Ice Age Trail, Wisconsin's own national trail. I have even seen bald eagles here on two or three occasions.

On second thought, perhaps I should tell you all NOT to come here! I wouldn't mind keeping it all to myself! JK see you on the trails.
