Two wheels, endless views, zero traffic! 🚲✨

Whether you’re commuting across town, getting in a weekend workout, or just taking a leisure cruise, there’s no better route than the Hank Aaron State Trail!

Spanning 14 continuous miles, the Hank connects lakeshore beauty, urban energy, and peaceful nature reserves—all on smooth, car-free pavement.

Why rolling on the Hank is the ultimate ride:

🌉 Seamless Connectivity: Ride straight from Lake Michigan through the historic Menomonee Valley all the way to western Milwaukee County!

🌿 Nature meets City: One minute you’re gliding past urban public art, and the next you’re immersed in the restored prairies of Three Bridges Park.

🚦 Car-Free & Stress-Free: Flat, paved, and completely separated from city traffic—making it perfect for riders of every age and skill level.

☕ Iconic Stops Along the Way: Easy access to local coffee shops, breweries, parks, and attractions right off the path.

Pump up your tires, grab your helmet, and hit the trail today! Where is your favorite spot to ride along the Hank? Drop a bike emoji below! 🚴👇

What should the future of public transit look like in Milwaukee County?

That’s the question MCTS is putting to the community as we prepare to redesign our bus network to meet our funding challenges. At the heart of the conversation is a key choice: Should MCTS prioritize building ridership or maintaining coverage? Join us at an upcoming Open House and tell us what matters to you.
