Hotels in Mequon

Wander the trails of Mequon Nature Preserve, where restored prairies showcase Wisconsin's wild side without a hint of urban intrusion. Lake Michigan's shoreline offers a refreshing escape from summer heat, while Kapco Park hosts baseball games with small-town enthusiasm and big-league dreams. Berry-picking at Barthel Fruit Farm becomes a competitive sport in summer months – arrive early for the best selection. Despite being Milwaukee's neighbor, half the city remains gloriously undeveloped, with working farms dotting the landscape. The Milwaukee River cuts through town, where old hydropowered mill sites hint at German settlers' industrious past. For post-adventure refreshment, the farm-to-table restaurants serve Wisconsin classics with ingredients often harvested just miles away.
