A Milwaukee County Parks woodland with rare old-growth trees is the focus of heated debate over new trail development meant to serve both mountain bikers and hikers. The Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors role in oversight of parks is also at issue.
Mangan Woodsâ undulating hills and ravines were formed thousands of years ago by glacial events. Strolling its rustic trails offers spectacular vistas year-round and extraordinary seasonal displays. Wedged between Whitnall Park and the Root River, this rare and exquisite landscape includes one of the park system s few woodlands that has never been logged.
