Sanctuary Woods, nestled within the Wisconsin Medical College campus, holds the remnants of Milwaukee's first mental hospital. As you cycle through, you'll encounter aged sidewalks and paths that wind through deteriorating pavilions and scenic vistas. During the mid-20th century, this area housed about 6,000 individuals with mental illnesses. Built in the late 19th century, the now-abandoned facilities provide a poignant look into the area's history, offering a quiet, reflective atmosphere amidst the greenery.

Along the west side of the Menomonee River are some really beautiful mountain bike trails. The trails are fairly flat and have a few technical challenges. Very scenic and absolutely fun!
