Sauk Creek Nature Preserve - Port Washington, WI

I've been looking for waterfalls near the Milwaukee area. There aren't many to speak of.  But I was directed to one in Port Washington by a friend of The Park Next Door (thanks, Courtney!).  Courtney told me about Sauk Creek Nature Preserve in Port Washington.  It was a little tricky to find at first, as the entrance is just along the side of the road with just enough space for a couple cars to park along the road. But once on the entrance path you hear the rushing waterfall.  There's a bridge over the creek with a great view of the waterfall, and trails before and after the bridge that lead to the waterfall and the creek.  Woodland and prairie trails draw you in, and wildlife is abundant. The day I was there I saw several Indigo Buntings, a hummingbird, and several other songbirds.  Dragonflies, deer, and wildlflowers abound as well.
