Connecting Oconomowoc to Nemahbin Lakes, the Lake Country Trail offers open views and lakeside scenery. It’s a fun, low-traffic stretch with a mix of urban and countryside, passing by big barns along the way.

The Lapham Peak Observation Tower is located in the Kettle Moraine State Forest - Lapham Peak Unit and surrounded by multiple nice hiking trails. The 45-foot tower provides stunning views of the surrounding forest!

Ten thousand years ago, a glacier covered this part of Wisconsin. Kettle Moraine State Forest is a mark of its passage — a combination of terrain gouged out by the glacier's passage, and rocky moraine that the glacier dropped as it passed by and melted. There are lots of great hiking trails here, many of them lighted.

Lapham Peak formed over 10,000 years ago when a glacier covered vast swathes of Wisconsin. It's a perfect destination for hiking and cross-country skiing. Located in Kettle Moraine State Forest, it's open from dawn until dusk daily.

Lapham Peak is the highest point in Waukesha County. You bike up a moderately steep park road which goes almost all the way to the summit. On top is a wooden observation tower with great views of downtown Milwaukee, Holy Hill, and the Kettle Moraine.
