Sileno Quarry

Overview

There are a variety of entrances to this location ranging from a quick ten-steps from the car to an afternoon-worthy hike. It's a great place to visit and feel as if you're miles from home instead of ten minutes from Brookfield East.

Lower rim access

This route is the easiest and least fun way to access the quarry, but it will get you there. Park in the end of the neighborhood on Waynescott Road and enter the woods to the left of the house with the American flag. There should be a trail to follow that will take you right to the water. You'll have to pass a "No Trespassing - Private Property" sign, but that's how you'll know you're going the right way.

Upper ridge access

Park at the Ridgewood Baptist church at 2720 Lilly Road and enter the woods near the "No Trespassing - Private Property" signs. If you weave through the woods, you should find a trail that will take you to the upper ridge of the quarry. You can walk the entire distance around the lake (1 mile) on this path and there are a few treacherous routes from the rim down to the water if you want to go in.

Overview

This quarry, a man-made and long-abandoned pit in the middle of Sussex, is an ideal place to go swimming at night. Approaching the water itself can be difficult but the view is worth it

Directions

The coordinates of the actual site are 43.137675, -88.206257, which you can plug into Google maps.
Park at NAPA Auto Parts or Sussex Inn in Sussex and walk down the Bugline trail (otherwise known as the sidewalk on Waukesha Avenue). You'll cross train tracks to get there, but there should be a narrow trail.
