Confirmed from Mill Pond Plaza's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Pleasant park with a dam and river views that's popular for picnics and photography.

Looking for a relaxing place to stroll in downtown Menomonee Falls, I always enjoy walking on this tranquil promenade along the Menomonee River. There are paths on either side of the river, punctuated by the dam for the Mill Pond, resulting in a lovely waterfall.
Super cute area. Nice walk. Super clean restrooms. Lots of beautiful flowers. Nice place for some pictures.
Beautiful, clean, well maintained park. Lots of ducks and geese year round and water lilies, frogs and herons in the summer. Great place for a picnic or a walk.
Nice quiet place on the river with benches, picnic tables, and a bike/walk path. Bring some coffee or some lunch, and a friend!
