Walk the Hank - Along the Harley Segment and Reed Street Yards

  • Reed Street Yards 247 West Freshwater Way Milwaukee, WI, 53204 United States (map)

 The Harley-Davidson Museum® is located in one of Milwaukee’s most interesting locations, jutting out between the Menomonee River and Menomonee Canal. Beautifully landscaped, this segment loops around the Museum, connecting to the Sixth Street Bridge, and to Reed Street Yards, an area with innovative stormwater management techniques that keep pollutants out of our waterways. Robert Peschel, Friends of Hank Aaron State Trail (FOHAST) Board Member and retired environmental engineer will guide the walk along the waterway highlighting the innovative stormwater manager bioswales, the creative features of Freshwater Way, Reed Street Yards, and more. Event will take place rain or shine.

Location: Meet at the water feature on the corner of Freshwater Way and S 3rd Street across from the Global Water Center (247 W Freshwater Way.) There is street parking on Freshwater Way, S 2nd Street, and S 3rd Street.
