Mill Domes

Overview

​If you're afraid of heights, keep scrolling: this site marks the highest climbing structure I've been to. Climb a 30-foot ladder to the top of an old grain mill to see the blaze of city lights all around, then climb down to investigate the eerie glow of old boating buildings and other, less impressive towers with plenty of low roofs to traverse and a low threat for other explorers. Make sure you stop by the abandoned parking lot before you leave to add to the graffiti wall.

Directions

​Park at Piggly Wiggly (6111 W Mequon Rd #2) or Central Bark and walk across the train tracks pictured, over the fence, and into the site, 43.218846, -87.986082. Climb over the pile of rocks to get to the rest of the site. It's a pretty big area to explore. The tower that you can climb should be obvious when you get there. Pictures below will help you identify the climbable structures.
