Milwaukee Sketch Club at Mukwonago Park in Waukesha County









Despite the threat of a possible storm we decided to paint. So we picked an open sided shelter with a 360 degree view to stand under. There was a picnic table under the shelter and wooden counters on 2 sides. The temperature was quite pleasant at 70F with a breeze. No mosquitoes. Although it started out cloudy by the end of our painting outing the sun had come and no storm came through. This is one of those locations where there is so much to paint that it is hard to choose and towards late afternoon there were people walking and playing with their dogs.

Mukwonago park is located just east of Beulah Road on county road LO between county road E and county road I which is west of downtown Mukwonago. The entrance fee for fall on weekdays is $3. Annual stickers for Waukesha County residents are $25/ car and for non residents it is $36/car. For more info see www.waukeshacountyparks.com .

Next Monday at 2:30pm we plan to meet at Mukwonago River.
  • Turn right (north) onto Hwy 83 from the expressway Hwy 43
  • Go under the railroad bridge
  • Immediately make a left onto Front St.
  • Then turn left onto a gravel driveway by all the electrical stuff
When you park in the lot you will see a dam on Mukwonago river to your right and the railroad bridge to your left.

As always, email us if you'd like to meet up with us.
