About Naga-Waukee County Park

 

Located in the town of Delafield, Wisconsin, Naga-Waukee County Park occupies a scenic area along the shores of Nagawicka Lake and the adjacent Keesling Creek. The park spans rolling terrain with forested areas and open spaces, providing habitat for common Midwestern wildlife such as white-tailed deer, various songbirds, and waterfowl. Established by Waukesha County to preserve natural green space in a rapidly developing region, the park offers visitors access to a blend of aquatic and terrestrial environments. Outdoor recreation opportunities include hiking and biking on well-maintained multi-use trails, picnicking at shelters, and fishing from lakeshore points and creek banks. The park is particularly popular for boating and paddle sports due to its boat launch on Nagawicka Lake, which connects to the larger network of lakes in the area. A designated sledding hill and winter-friendly trails invite seasonal visitors for snow sports such as cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. The park’s well-kept facilities and family-friendly amenities make it a favored local destination for day trips. Scenic views of the lake and creek add to the visitor experience, while educational signage helps inform guests about the area's natural and cultural history. Naga-Waukee County Park balances outdoor adventure with peaceful natural settings, making it a valuable recreational resource in southeastern Wisconsin.
