About
Two wood-fired saunas in the woods above the Seven Bridges Trail at Grant Park, with cold showers and open-air lounging between rounds. Shared 75-minute sessions run alongside private bookings for groups. The operator also runs a lakefront site at McKinley Marina in the colder months.
Good to know
- Wood-fired heat: softer, heavier löyly than electric, and the smell of the stove is part of the room.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
- Set in nature, away from the city, so bring a car or plan the transfer in advance.
- Direct lake access: most visitors plunge straight into the water between sauna rounds.
- Swimwear sauna: some or all sessions are taken in swimwear, so pack it.
Hours
- Hours not listed
Site publishes no opening hours; sessions run at fixed start times booked in advance. Two sites are in the booking system: Wulff Lodge in Grant Park, South Milwaukee, and McKinley Marina on the Milwaukee lakefront, which press coverage describes as the winter season site.
