Lakeshore State Park is a 22-acre (8.9 ha) Wisconsin state park located on the shores of Lake Michigan in the city of Milwaukee.[1] It is situated adjacent to both Discovery World and Henry Maier Festival Park.[2][3] It is the only urban state park in Wisconsin and features restored prairie and a pebble beach.[1][4] In addition to the prairie, portions of the park are planted with Kentucky bluegrass.[4]

The park has a paved trail that connects to both the Hank Aaron State Trail and the Oak Leaf Trail.[1][3] The park features a fishing pier overlooking a basin, on the side opposite Lake Michigan.[4] There are also boat slips at the north end of the park that can be used overnight.[2][4] The park itself is perched atop an artificial bed of limestone rock material removed from the Deep Tunnel Project in the 1980s.[4]

In the 1990s, the peninsula was known informally as Harbor Island or Summerfest Island. It was set aside for "public use and enjoyment" by Milwaukee mayor John Norquist in October 1991, 16 years before becoming a state park.[4]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
