Engel Conservation Area - Muskego, WI

Engel Conservation Area was recommended to me by a good friend. So, of course, I had to check it out. Turns out it's within 30 minutes of my West Allis home base. Easy to find. The area is 155 acres, including 4 miles of hiking trails, woodlands, wetlands, and prairie. The day my niece and I went there were several hawks flying overhead. In winter, especially, good hiking shoes or boots are a must, as the trails are not groomed. But certainly walk-able.  There is parking onsite for up to 16 vehicles, and a portable rest room is available. Scenery like this so close to the city is worth the effort. I'm looking forward to visiting during spring migration, too.

Please note that dogs are not allowed at this preserve due to the fragile nature of nesting wildlife.
