Bugline Trail Head
Park
👍👍 If you haven't experienced the bugline trail, you really should. It's a beautiful paved course for biking. There are a lot of things to do in Menomonee Falls, and now it's actually paved all the way to Northlake. It goes through some very scenic territory. There are things to do and see at Sussex. W...

👍👍 Out geocaching and found a rummage sale as well as this cute little general store. If you go, be sure to buy some of this yoghurt drink, as well as the Honey Custard. So delicious!

Merton Sub Co
Sandwich shop
👍👍 Excellent quality bread and ingredients equal terrific handmade subs. Very good value. A local gem. I believe they're only open for lunch. Dine in or takeout. Despite being very busy when I was there, the orders came out very quickly.

Sculpture Park
Tourist attraction
👍👍 The visit is well worth the trip if you love sculpture. The artist uses “found objects” as well as sheet metal to create fantastic creature sculptures. I will say that for the few times I’ve been there, it’s been hard to interact with the artist when he was hanging out outside. I get the impressi...

KJ's Watering Hole
Bar
😐 Great remodel, a much needed overhaul after the previous bar "Carmen's Urinal Bowl". My wife and I had a great time a few weeks ago, until we realized that they had brought back a Previous bartender. This individual has stolen from us in the past, and brought in a bad element into the bar. Sorry new...

Humdinger’s Bar & Grill
Restaurant
👍👍 Ask for Mile's special sauce on your wings or burgers. He refuses to give out the recipe. But man was that good. Sometimes the waitress doesn't know about the sauce. You gotta ask them to check with the cook. Sometimes a different cook is working so they can't make it. Best way to describe it is lik...

North Lake
Lake
🫤 Great lake. Wish the DNR would stand up to the rich land owners that are fighting to keep a public boat ramp from opening. One of the largest public lakes that basically has private access. We the residents of Wisconsin pubically own this lake not a few residents with money and political influence....
