120 miles of mostly paved trails that are great for cycling. Best starting point is the Milwaukee Art Museum, after which you can head either north or south along Lake Michigan, or just a short distance south and west to an additional set of inland trail segments. I like going North and stopping at Hubbard Park Beer Garden.
