About Oak Creek

Located along the western shore of Lake Michigan in the southeast corner of Milwaukee County and adjacent to the City of Milwaukee is Oak Creek. Oak Creek sports a population of 34,451 residents as of 2010. 

Throughout the year, Oak Creek hosts many different events for residents. During the summer month, residents can enjoy beer tastings at the the Oak Creek Beer Garden and experience different foods during the Oak Creek Food Truck Tour. Both of these events bring in different flavors from around the area and make them readily available to those who attend these events. During the fall and winter months there are events such as a city wide trick-or-treat, farmers market, and a tree lighting ceremony at the Drexel Town Square.

Around the city there are 10 different designated walking paths where you can get out and explore the town, all while staying active. Many of these routes head by or through local parks, so it’s a great way to see the city’s designated green areas. More information about Oak Creek’s walking trails can be found here. If you want a walk with a view, check out the Bender Park Hiking Trail located right along Lake Michigan for some memorable views.
