Hank Aaron State Trail—Plans for the Future

The recent acquisition of a 5.5-mile former rail corridor from Miller Park west to the Milwaukee-Waukesha county line will enable the trail to be nearly doubled in length. This proposed trail extension, expected to be completed in 2009, will go past the historic Ward Theatre on the grounds of the National Soldiers Home, State Fair Park, and the Pettit National Ice Center and along the southern edge of the Milwaukee County Zoo, and connect with the Oak Leaf Trail near the county line.
