Hike and Beer Garden at Estabrook Park
Estabrook Beer Garden, 4600 Estabrook Pkwy, Milwaukee, WI 53217, USA, Milwaukee, WI, USHello everyone!
Our NewFriendsMKE hikes have been going great, with many bringing out between 40 and 80 people, including a lot of first-time attendees.
Most people come alone, so this is always an easy event to join if you are new to the group.On Saturday, October 10, let’s meet up for a late-afternoon 2-mile fall hike at Estabrook Park in Milwaukee!
We will meet at 4:00 p.m. near the Bublr bike location.There is a parking lot right by the meeting area, so parking and finding the group should be pretty easy.
I’ll post more specific directions as the date gets closer.The hike will be medium difficulty. You definitely do not need to be a regular hiker, but we will go through some wooded areas and uneven terrain, so comfortable shoes are a good idea.
One of the nice things about doing this hike later in the afternoon is that anyone who wants to keep hanging out afterward can head over to the Estabrook Beer Garden, which is open until 10:00 p.m.We should be back from the hike around 4:45–5:00 p.m., so if you do not want to do the hike, you are absolutely welcome to just come for the socializing afterward at the beer garden.
Grab a drink or something to eat and stick around to socialize with the group!Come alone, bring a friend, or bring your dog. Our hikes typically attract people from their 20s through their 60s, and newcomers are always welcome.
Date: Saturday, October 10
Time: 4:00 p.m.
Distance: Approximately 2 miles
Location: Estabrook Park, Milwaukee
Meeting area: Near the Bublr bike location
Back from hike: Around 4:45–5:00 p.m.Afterward: Estabrook Beer Garden — feel free to join us even if you skip the hike
