Lakeshore State Park Insider Tips
- Make sure to bring along a camera so that you can take photos of the lake and the Milwaukee skyline.
- Bring along a pair of binoculars and see how many bird species you can find in the park's beautiful natural habitats.
- It's usually a good idea to bring along a jacket or sweater when you visit the lakeshore since the wind off of Lake Michigan can often make it feel chilly, even in the summertime.
