Seven Waters Trail The Seven Waters Trail passes near: Wind Lake, Waubeesee Lake, Muskego Creek, Fox River, Long Lake Creek, White River and Echo Lake. The trail begins at Highway 142 at Bushnell Park in the Town of Burlington, coming into the City of Burlington near Riverside Park, following the beautiful Fox River. The trail runs north along the east side of Highway 36 crossing Highway 36 to join a newly constructed segment in the Rochester area. This new segment of the trail winds through Saller Woods, connecting to Eagle Case Park, and then joins the previous trail to run north past Waterford and Wind Lake. The construction of the new segment creates a seamless link from one end of the county to the other. The final segment of the trail is on the east side of Highway 36 and proceeds northward to the Waukesha County line (City of Muskego). The new segment of the trail is blacktop with the remainder gravel.

Dr. Elvira Seno wished her beloved “Slippery Slopes” tree farm to become a place for children to learn about trees and nature. Dr. Seno passed away in November 1996. In her last year she saw her dream fulfilled as buses full of children came to learn about forests and nature on her beautiful farm.
