Could you use a scenic Wisconsin stroll? The Port Washington Harbor Walk is a picturesque waterfront trail located in the heart of historic Port Washington. This charming walkway offers a chance to enjoy stunning views of Lake Michigan, the Port Washington Marina, and the historic downtown area. Here’s what you need to know about the Port Washington Harbor Walk.
The Harbor Walk is located along the shore of Lake Michigan in the heart of the city of Port Washington, which is in Ozaukee County in southeastern Wisconsin. The trail is easily accessible and centrally located within the city.
Visitors can stroll along the walkway and take in the beauty of the lake. You may want to plan an early morning stroll - the walkway also offers great vantage points for watching sunrises over the water.

The north end of the walk is framed by the Port Washington Breakwater Light.
The Harbor Walk runs south, adjacent to the Port Washington Marina, where numerous boats and yachts are moored and charter fishing operators are based.
It’s a popular destination for sunbathing, picnicking, and swimming during the warmer months.
I’ve had some pleasant strolls along the harbor Walk. I’ve never walked the whole length in one shot, but it’s about three miles long, so there’s a lot to explore. Plan your next visit to Port Washington on Booking.com. Here are some more awesome things to see and do in Wisconsin.
